Abstract
Cyclic peptide diversity has been broadened by elaborating the A3-macrocyclization to include various di-amino carboxylate components with different Nε-amine substituents. Triple-bond reduction provided new cyclic peptide macrocycles with Z-olefin and completely saturated structures. Moreover, cyclic azasulfurylpeptides were prepared by exchanging the propargylglycine (Pra) component for an amino sulfamide surrogate. Examination of such diversity-oriented methods on potent cyclic azapeptide modulators of the cluster of differentiation 36 receptor (CD36) identified the importance of the triple bond as well as the Nε-allyl lysine and azaPra residues for high CD36 binding affinity. Cyclic azapeptides which engaged CD36 effectively reduced pro-inflammatory nitric oxide and downstream cytokine and chemokine production in macrophages stimulated with a Toll-like receptor-2 agonist. Studying the triple bond and amine components in the multiple-component A3-macrocyclization has given a diverse array of macrocycles and pertinent information to guide the development of ideal CD36 modulators with biomedical potential for curbing macrophage-driven inflammation.
