J Pept Sci 2023; 29:e3455.

Abstract
In pursuit of more effective-labor delaying tocolytic agents, the prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) receptor (FP) modulator PDC113.824 [(6S)-2] represents a potent lead for developing therapy to treat preterm birth. Derivatives of FP modulator (6S)-2 were synthesized, possessing respectively 5- and 7-hydroxyl groups on the indolizidin-2-one amino acid (I2 aa) residue. The effects of the alcohol substituents were examined in a PGF2α-induced myometrial contraction assay. Based on knowledge of dihedral angle values of model I2 aa peptides from X-ray analyses, the results of the study indicate respectively encouraging and limited potential for creating improved tocolytic agents by modifications at the 5- and 7-positions.

Abstract
Premature birth (<37 weeks gestation) is the major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity and has been steadily increasing worldwide. Towards the rational design of more effective therapeutic agents for inhibiting uterine contractions and prolonging gestation (a so-called tocolytic drug), our team has targeted the prostaglandin F2α receptor (FP) employing a peptidomimetic approach designed to provide modulators of this novel target. We identified first a lead peptide (PDC113) (1) based on the sequence of the second extracellular loop of FP on the basis that the loop itself might modulate receptor activation. Systematic study of the structure−activity relationships of 1 generated hypotheses concerning the conformation and side-chains responsible for activity that led to the synthesis of PDC113.31 (2), a potent all d-amino acid peptide, which has successfully completed Phase 1b clinical trials. Employing indolizidinone amino acids, peptide mimics were developed that served to probe the mechanism of FP modulation. For example, PDC113.824 (9) was shown to allosterically regulate FP activity contingent on the presence of prostaglandin F2α by a mechanism implicating biased signalling. Although attempts to understand the turn geometry responsible for the activity of 9 by replacement of its indolizidin-2-one moiety with other azabicycloalkanones failed to produce biologically active analogs, employment of aza-aminoacyl-proline analogs resulted in a series of FP modulators exhibiting distinct effects on different G protein-mediated signalling pathways. Our program has thus contributed novel probes for understanding the chemical biology of FP as well as new therapeutic agents with promise for inhibiting uterine contractions and preventing preterm birth.

Abstract
Peptide-based therapeutics have grown in importance over the last few decades. Furthermore, peptides have been extensively used as lead compounds in the drug discovery process to investigate the nature of chemical space required for molecular recognition and activity at a variety of targets. This critical commentary reviews scanning techniques, which employ natural and non-proteinogenic amino acids to facilitate understanding of structural requirements for peptide biological activity. The value of sequence analysis by such methods is highlighted by examples, in which the elements for peptide affinity and activity have been elucidated and employed to prepare peptidomimetic leads for drug development.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of a new amino acid phosphonium salt was described by quaternization of melting triphenylphosphine with the γ-iodo NHBoc-amino ester, derived from L-aspartic acid. The deprotection of the carboxylic acid function to afford the phosphonium salt with a free carboxylic acid group was achieved by a palladium-catalyzed desallylation reaction. This phosphonium salt was used in the Wittig reaction with aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes and trifluoroacetophenone, under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions in chlorobenzene and in the presence of K(3)PO(4) as weak base, to afford the corresponding unsaturated amino acids without racemization. Thus, the reaction with substituted aldehydes allows to graft various functionalized groups on the lateral chain of the amino acid, such as trifluoromethyl, cyano, nitro, ferrocenyl, boronato, or azido. In addition, the reaction of the amino acid Wittig reagent with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes leads to amino acids bearing a diene on the lateral chain. Finally, this amino acid phosphonium salt appears to be a new powerful tool for the preparation of unsaturated and non-proteinogenic α-amino acids, directly usable for the synthesis of customized peptides.

Abstract
Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (Aze) analogs possessing various heteroatomic side chains at the 3-position have been synthesized by modification of 1-9-(9-phenylfluorenyl) (PhF)-3-allyl-Aze tert-butyl ester (2S,3S)-1. 3-Allyl-Aze 1 was synthesized by regioselective allylation of alpha-tert-butyl beta-methyl N-(PhF)aspartate 13, followed by selective omega-carboxylate reduction, tosylation, and intramolecular N-alkylation. Removal of the PhF group and olefin reduction by hydrogenation followed by Fmoc protection produced nor-leucine-Aze chimera 2. Regioselective olefin hydroboration of (2S,3S)-1 produced primary alcohol 23, which was protected as a silyl ether, hydrogenated and N-protected to give 1-Fmoc-3-hydroxypropyl-Aze 26. Enantiopure (2S,3S)-3-(3-azidopropyl)-1-Fmoc-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester 3 was prepared as a Lys-Aze chimera by activation of 3-hydroxypropyl-Aze 26 as a methanesulfonate and displacement with sodium azide. Moreover, orthogonally protected azetidine dicarboxylic acid 4 was synthesized as an alpha-aminoadipate-Aze chimera by oxidation of alcohol 26. These orthogonally protected amino acid-Aze chimeras are designed to serve as tools for studying the influence of conformation on peptide activity.

Abstract
Enantiopure (3S,5S,6R,8S)- and (3S,5S,6S,8S)-6-hydroxypyrrolizidinone 3-N-(Boc)amino 8-methyl carboxylates (6R)- and (6S)-1 were synthesized in seven steps starting from (2S)-alpha-tert-butyl N-(PhF) aspartate beta-aldehyde (10). Carbene-catalyzed acyloin condensation of beta-aldehyde 10 followed by acetylation provided a separable mixture of diastereomeric (2S,5RS,7S)-diamino-4-oxo-5-acetoxysuberates (13). Reductive amination and lactam annulation of the respective alpha-acetoxy ketones 13 provided hydroxypyrrolizidinones (6R)- and (6S)-1 with retention of the C6-position stereochemistry. The X-ray crystallographic study of (6R)-1 indicated dihedral angles constrained within the heterocycle that were consistent with the ideal values for the i + 1 and i + 2 residues of a type II' beta-turn. Hydrogen-bonding studies on N'-methyl-N-(Boc)aminopyrrolizidin-2-one carboxamides (6R)- and (6S)-21 in DMSO-d6, demonstrated different NH chemical shift displacements and temperature coefficients for the amide and carbamate protons, indicative of solvent shielded and exposed hydrogens in a turn conformation. 6-Hydroxy pyrrolizidinone amino carboxylate 1 may thus find application as a constrained alaninylhydroxyproline dipeptide mimic. In addition, alkylation of the hydroxyl group provided orthogonally protected pyrrolizidinone amino dicarboxylate (6R)-25, demonstrating potential for expanding the diversity of these rigid dipeptide surrogates for the exploration of peptide conformation-activity relationships.

Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonists have potential for the treatment and prevention of disease states such as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, migraine headache, pain, and inflammation. To gain insight into the spatial requirements for CGRP antagonism, three strategies were employed to restrict the conformation of the potent undecapeptide antagonist, [D31,P34,F35]CGRP27-37. First, aza-amino acid scanning was performed, and ten aza-peptide analogues were synthesized and examined for biological activity. Second, (3S,6S,9S)-2-oxo-3-amino-indolizidin-2-one amino acid (I2aa) and (2S,6S,8S)-9-oxo-8-amino-indolizidin-9-one amino acid (I9aa) both were introduced at positions 31-32, 32-33, 33-34, and 34-35, regions of the backbone expected to adopt turns. Finally, the conformation of the backbone and side-chain of the C-terminal residue, Phe35-Ala36-Phe37-NH2, was explored employing (2S,4R,6R,8S)-9-oxo-8-amino-4-phenyl-indolizidin-9-one amino acid (4-Ph-I9aa) as a constrained phenylalanine mimic. The structure-activity relationships exhibited by our 26 analogues illustrate conformational requirements important for designing CGRP antagonists and highlight the importance of beta-turns centered at Gly33-Pro34 for potency.

Abstract
Enantiopure (2S)-N-(Boc)-3-(6-methylpyridazinyl)alanine (14) has been synthesized to serve as a phenylalanine analog lacking significant pi-donor capability. Two approaches were developed to furnish the target compound from L-aspartic acid as chiral educt in respectively six and nine steps and 13% and 12% yields. In both routes, a key homoallylic ketone intermediate was synthesized by a copper-catalyzed cascade addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to a carboxylic ester. Dipeptide models Ac-Xaa-Pro-NHMe (21a-c) were prepared and the relative populations of prolyl cis- and trans-amide isomers were measured in chloroform, dimethylsulfoxide, and water by proton NMR spectroscopy in order to assess the significance of the electron density of the neighboring aromatic residue on the prolyl amide geometry.

Abstract
In our ongoing research on the synthesis of constrained analogues of CCK/opioid chimeric peptides, a bicyclic dipeptide mimetic for Nle-Asp was designed and synthesized. Starting from β-allyl substituted aspartic acids, the terminal double bond was oxidized resulting in spontaneous cyclization to form racemic hemiaminals. Allylation of the hemiaminals afforded 5-allyl substituted proline analogues, which on oxidation, Horner-Emmons olefination, asymmetric hydrogenation, and bicyclization afforded bicyclic dipeptide mimetics for Nle-Asp. Constrained CCK/opioid peptide analogues containing bicyclic dipeptide mimetics for Nle-Gly, Nle-Asp, and homoPhe-Gly were then synthesized and analyzed at both the CCK and opioid receptors.

Abstract
[structures: see text] A systematic study was performed to establish general synthesis protocols for forming enantiomerically pure macrocyclic dipeptide lactams. Focusing on macrocycles of 8-, 9-, and 10-membered rings, effective syntheses were achieved by a sequence featuring peptide coupling of allyl- and homoallyl-glycine building blocks followed by ring-closing metathesis. The 8-membered lactam-possessing cis-amide and cis-olefin geometry as well as 9-membered [corrected] lactams having trans-amide and cis-olefin [corrected] configurations were effectively prepared by a general strategy employing the respective protected dipeptide, the first generation Grubbs' catalyst, and temporary protection of the central amide as a benzyl derivative. The 10-membered macrocycle was synthesized possessing cis- or trans-olefin geometry by employing similar metathesis conditions in the presence or absence of temporary benzyl amide protection, respectively [corrected]

Abstract
Introduction of structural constraint into peptides is an effective way for studying their conformation-activity relationships. Conformationally restrained dipeptidyl lactams, important building blocks for the synthesis of peptidomimetics, have now been synthesized from N-[9-(9-phenylfluorenyl)]-L-aspartic acid alpha-cumyl beta-methyl diester as an inexpensive chiral educt. After selective reduction of the beta-methyl ester with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H), homoserine was treated with thionyl chloride, imidazole, and triethylamine to give sulfamidites. Diastereoisomers were separated by chromatography and oxidation of the major sulfamidite (2R,4S)- with catalytic ruthenium trichloride afforded sulfamidate. A series of gamma-lactam-bridged dipeptides was then obtained by ring opening of sulfamidate cumyl ester with a series of amino esters, selective cumyl ester removal, and lactam formation. The resulting dipeptidyl lactams possessed aliphatic, aromatic, amino, thioether, and carboxylate side chains. A gamma-lactam analog of Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 (PLG), was synthesized to illustrate the potential for using this approach in the synthesis of biologically active peptide mimics.

Abstract
Azabicyclo[X.Y.0]alkanone amino acids are challenging synthetic targets and useful tools for studying structure-activity relationships of native peptide ligands. They have been employed to increase potency and stability in conformationally rigid enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands. Since last reviewed in 1997, activity in their synthesis and application has increased significantly and access is now available to a wider diversity of these peptide mimics. This review focuses on recent syntheses of these heterocyclic amino acids and their application in the investigation of biologically active peptides and peptide mimics.

Abstract
Chemoselective hydrolysis of tert-butyl esters in the presence of other acid-labile groups has been explored by employing alpha-amino esters and ZnBr(2) in DCM. Although N-Boc and N-trityl groups were found to be labile, PhF protected amines were compatible with these Lewis acid deprotection conditions such that a variety of N-(PhF)amino acids were prepared in good yields from their corresponding tert-butyl esters.

Abstract
An efficient stereoselective synthesis of two 3,5-dialkyl-substituted indolizidine alkaloids is reported. The convergent syntheses are based on a novel sequence of a cross-metathesis (CM) reaction of an alpha,beta-unsaturated ketone and a chiral homoallylic amine followed by a domino reaction involving hydrogenation, N-deprotection, and two diastereoselective reductive aminations. Our concept presents one of a few examples of a highly selective CM reaction in the synthesis of a natural product.

Abstract
Enantiopure (3S,5R,8S)-3-[N-(Boc)amino]-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octan-2-one 8-carboxylic acid (1) was synthesized in nine steps and 16% overall yield from aspartate beta-aldehyde 7. Carbene-catalyzed acyloin condensation of 7, followed by acetylation and samarium iodide reduction, gave linear precursor (2S,7S)-alpha,omega-diamino-4-oxosuberate 11, which was converted to N-(Boc)aminopyrrolizidin-2-one carboxylic acid 1 by a reductive amination/lactam cyclization sequence. X-ray analysis of (3S,5R,8S)-methyl N-(Boc)aminopyrrolizidin-2-one carboxylate 21 showed that its internal backbone dihedral angles (psi = -149 degrees, phi = -49 degrees ) were in good agreement with the ideal values for a type II' beta-turn. Proton NMR experiments on N'-methyl-N-(Boc)aminopyrrolizidin-2-one carboxamide 23 demonstrated significantly different NH chemical displacements and temperature coefficients suggestive of solvent shielded and exposed hydrogens indicative of a turn conformation. Because pyrrolizidinone amino acids can serve as conformationally rigid dipeptide surrogates, this synthesis should facilitate their application in the exploration of conformation-activity relationships of various biologically active peptides.

Abstract
The synthesis of the C1-C11 fragment 33 of bafilomycin A(1) was achieved. Intermediate ketone 16 was prepared in six steps from 4-oxopimelate 13. Desymmetrization of this ketone using Koga's chiral base followed by TMSCl quench furnished silyl enol ether 17 with excellent enantioselectivity. Further elaboration led to C5-C11 aldehyde 24, which was coupled with sulfone 3 to give lactone 25 in very good yield. The subsequent reductive elimination created the E-trisubstituted C4-C5 olefin with a 13:1 selectivity. The E C2-C3 double bond was then installed by methanol elimination, and compound 33 was obtained after a few functional group manipulations and a Negishi methyl zirconation.

Abstract
An efficient route for the synthesis of enantiopure omega-hydroxy, omega-carboxy, omega-oxo, and omega-amino alpha-amino acids and bis-alpha-amino acids was developed. The synthesis of omega-trityloxy delta,epsilon-unsaturated alpha-amino acids was based on the Wittig reaction of methyl (2S)-2-[bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxopentanoate with omega-trityloxy alkylidene triphenylphosphoranes. After hydrogenation, the omega-hydroxy alpha-amino acid was used as starting material for the synthesis of other omega-functionalized alpha-amino acids. The length of the side chain of alpha-amino acids or bis-alpha-amino acids depends on the starting alkanediol or dibromide used to prepare the phosphoranes.

Abstract
The relationship between the conformation and biological activity of Leu-enkephalin was studied using (2S,6R,8S)-9-oxo-8-N-(Boc)amino-1-azabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane-2-carboxylic acid [(2S,6R,8S)-1, I(9)AA] as a constrained Gly(2)-Gly(3) dipeptide surrogate. [I(9)AA](2,3)-Leu-enkephalin 12 was assembled using solid-phase peptide synthesis on Merrifield resin with TBTU as the coupling reagent. The in vitro assays indicated that [I(9)AA](2,3)-Leu-enkephalin 12 exhibited affinities for the mu- and delta-opioid receptors that were three orders of magnitude lower than that of Leu-enkephalin, as well as partial agonist character for both receptors. In in vivo assays for spinal analgesia, the indolizidinone analog 12 showed significantly enhanced duration of action, indicating an increased metabolic stability. Conformational analysis was performed using NMR and CD spectroscopy. The amide temperature coefficients and 3J(NH-CalphaH) coupling constants for 12 could not support a hydrogen-bonded beta-turn structure; however, its CD spectrum indicated a turn conformation. Incorporation of indolizidinone amino acid 1 into Leu-enkephalin thus provided additional support for the importance of a turn conformation for the biological activity of the native peptide.

Abstract
Conformationally constrained amino acid and dipeptide units can serve in mimics of specific secondary structures for studying relationships between peptide conformation and biological activity. A variety of mimics are required to study systematically the structure-activity relationships in biologically relevant peptides. We present our efforts on the design, synthesis, and conformational analysis of a series of rigid surrogates of amino acid and dipeptide units for application within constrained peptide analogues, and for employment as inputs for combinatorial science. Conceived to be general and versatile, our methodology has delivered a variety of azacycloalkane and azabicycloalkane amino acids in enantiomerically pure form, via practical methods, from readily available and inexpensive starting materials.
