摘要:
Conformationally restricted peptidomimetics comprising eight stereoisomeric scaffolds with three-dimensional structural diversity were designed based on the structural features of cyclopropane, that is, cyclopropylic strain, which mimic wide-ranging tetrapeptide conformations covering beta-turns through beta-strands. Stereoselective synthesis of the designed peptidomimetics led to the identification of nonpeptidic melanocortin-4 receptor ligands.
