  • Title: [Structure-activity relationship studies on cyclic RGD peptides utilizing novel alkene dipeptide isosteres].
    Author: Oishi S.
    Journal: Yakugaku Zasshi; 2004 May; 124(5):269-77. PubMed ID: 15118239.
    Abstract:
    A structure-activity relationship study was performed on cyclic RGD peptides using a combination of multisubstituted alkene dipeptide isosteres. To clarify the effects on bioactivity of a valine N-methyl group in the cyclo(-Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-MeVal-) peptide developed by Kessler's group, novel D-Phe-Val-type isosteres with methyl-substituting groups on the olefin were designed and synthesized. Syntheses of D-Phe-psi[(E)-CH=CMe]-Val-type isosteres were carried out in essentially identical fashion to the previously reported preparation of psi[(E)-CH=CH]-type congeners. Alternatively, D-Phe-psi[(E)-CMe=CX]-Val-type isosteres (X=H or Me) were synthesized via stereoselective alkylation of beta-(1,3-oxazolidin-2-on-5-yl)-alpha,beta-enoates using organocopper reagents. The resulting four isosteres were utilized in either solution- or solid-phase peptide synthesis to afford the cyclic RGD peptidomimetics, cyclo(-Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-psi[(E)-CX=CX]-Val-) (X=H or Me). alpha(V)beta(3) and alpha(IIb)beta(3) integrin antagonistic activities of the peptidomimetics along with Kessler's peptides were comparatively evaluated. In addition, structural calculations of these compounds by simulated annealing/energy minimization using dihedral and distance restraints derived from (1)H-NMR data in DMSO gave insight into the effects of the valine N-methyl group as well as the D-phenylalanine carbonyl oxygen.
