Incorporation of fluoroprolines to proctolin: Study on the effect of a fluorine atom toward peptidic conformation
摘要:
In spite of quite small steric perturbation, substitution of proline (Pro) in the target pentapeptide proctolin (Arg-Tyr-Leu-Pro-Thr) for (4R)- as well as (4S)-4-fluoroproline led to apparent alteration of the pyrrolidine ring structure which eventually resulted in the significant conformational change of the whole molecules which was assumed on the basis of their NOESY spectra.

Syntheses of Analogues of the Insect Neuropeptide Proctolin Containing an Oxazole Ring as an Amide Bond Replacement
[structure: see text]. Three oxazole analogues of the insect neuropeptide proctolin (H-Arg-Tyr-Leu-Pro-Thr-OH) have been prepared, containing a single oxazole between Tyr and Pro and between Pro and Thr, respectively. A compound containing an oxazole moiety between Tyr and Pro and between Pro and Thr has also been prepared. All compounds have been tested for myotropic activity.
