    Abstract:
    Conformations of two pairs of dehydropeptides with the opposite configuration of the ΔPhe residue, Boc-Gly-Δ(Z)Phe-Gly-Phe-OMe (Z-OMe), Boc-Gly-Δ(E)Phe-Gly-Phe-OMe (E-OMe), Boc-Gly-Δ(Z)Phe-Gly-Phe-p-NA (Z-p-NA), and Boc-Gly-Δ(E)Phe-Gly-Phe-p-NA (E-p-NA) were compared on the basis of CD and NMR studies in MeOH, trifluoroethanol (TFE), MeCN, chloroform, and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The CD results were used as the additional input data for the NMR-based determination of the detailed solution conformations of the peptides. It was found that E-OMe is unordered and Z-OMe, Z-p-NA, and E-p-NA adopt the β-turn conformation. There are two overlapping β-turns in each of those peptides: type II and type III' in Z-OMe and Z-p-NA, and two type III in E-p-NA. The ordered structure-inducing properties of Δ(Z)Phe and Δ(E)Phe in the peptides studied depend on the C-terminal blocking group. In methyl esters, the Δ(Z)Phe residue is a strong inducer of ordered conformations whereas the Δ(E)Phe one has no such properties. In p-nitroanilides, both isomers of ΔPhe cause the peptides to adopt ordered structures to a similar extent.
