A facile one-pot synthesis of Nα-Z/Boc-protected S-linked 1,3,4-oxadiazole tethered peptidomimetics
摘要:
A new class of S-linked 1,3,4-oxadiazole-tethered N-alpha-protected peptidomimetics is designed and synthesized by a reaction of N-alpha-Z/Boc-protected 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol with alpha-bromo ester derived from amino acid. The protocol has also been employed for the synthesis of glycosylated amino acids and N,N'-orthogonally protected dipeptidomimetics bearing S-linked 1,3,4-oxadiazole mimetics as well. The intermediate 5-alkyl amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiols have been isolated as stable compounds. Further, the chain extension at both N- and C-termini of N-protected S-linked 1,3,4-oxadiazole tethered dipeptidomimetics was also demonstrated. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Recently, we identified a novel class of potent cathepsin L inhibitors, characterized by a thiocarbazate warhead. Given the potential of these compounds to inhibit other cysteine proteases, we designed and synthesized a library of thiocarbazates containing diversity elements at three positions. Biological characterization of this library for activity against a panel of proteases indicated a significant preference for members of the papain family of cysteine proteases over serine, metallo-, and certain classes of cysteine proteases, such as caspases. Several potent inhibitors of cathepsin L and S were identified. The SAR data were employed in docking studies in an effort to understand the structural elements required for cathepsin S inhibition. This study provides the basis for the design of highly potent and selective inhibitors of the papain family of cysteine proteases.
We report on the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazoles substituted with 2 or 3 aminoacid side chains, using silver benzoate as a key reagent for the cyclization step. A complete study of the optical purity retention during the synthetic process leading to these compounds is described. In addition an improved work-up after the addition-cyclization step was also established leading to better yields and metal-free
