Syntheses of new modified Phe-Pro peptides. Use of proline replacements in potential HIV inhibitors
摘要:
The syntheses consisting of replacement of proline amino acid by a 3-pyrrolidinone ring in Phe-Pro analogues are described. Preliminary anti-HIV studies demonstrated the potential activity of this new class of compounds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Based on the specific PhePro proteolytic cleavage of the HIV protease, short pseudo-peptides incorporating a 3-pyrrolidinone ring have been synthesized. Their potencies to inhibit HIV-1 in MT4 cell culture have been evaluated and compared to that of the bioisostere dipeptide BocPhePro. Analogues incorporating an aromatic residue have shown to inhibit HIV-1 infection in MT4 human lymphoid cell with an IC50 ranging from 1 to 10 mu M. Further experiments are in progress to determine their HIV protease inhibition properties. (C) Elsevier, Paris.
