    Abstract:
    Three series of terminally protected model oligopeptides to the nonamer level, based on 9-amino-4,5-diazafluorene-9-carboxylic acid, the first rigid bipyridine-type C(alpha,alpha)-disubstituted glycine, and either Gly, L-Ala, or Aib residues were synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. The molecular structures of two derivatives and one tripeptide were determined in the crystal state by x-ray diffraction. Moreover, the solution preferred conformations of these peptides were assessed by Fourier transform infrared absorption and (1)H-NMR techniques. A comparison with the known structural tendencies of the strictly related C(alpha,alpha)-disubstituted glycyl residues 1-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid and 9-aminofluorene-9-carboxylic acid is made, and the implications for the use of the 9-amino-4,5-diazafluorene-9-carboxylic acid residue in conformationally constrained analogs of bioactive peptides are briefly examined. A spectroscopic (uv absorption, fluorescence, CD) characterization of this novel heteroaromatic C(alpha,alpha)-disubstituted glycine is also reported. Finally, preliminary conformational data and membrane activity measurements are discussed for an analog of the lipopeptaibol antibiotic [L-Leu(11)-OMe] trichogin GA IV in which a 9-amino-4,5-diazafluorene-9-carboxylic acid residue was synthetically incorporated in position 1 (replacing the original Aib residue).
