A range of novel mono- and bis-glyoxylamide peptidomimetics were prepared via the facile ring-opening of N-acylisatins with amino acids and peptide derivatives. The ring-opening of N-acylisatins with dipeptides and tripeptides was discovered to be the most efficient strategy for the synthesis of second and third generation glyoxylamides.

Synthesis of anti-bacterial peptidomimetics derived from N-acylisatins
An efficient synthetic strategy to mono- and bis-glyoxylamide derivatives via the reaction of N-acylisatins with a range of amino acids has been developed. Using this strategy, a series of new peptidomimetics have been synthesized. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
