Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Through the synthetic studies of (Z)-chloroalkene-type ADIs (alkene dipeptide isosteres) for developing non-hydrolyzable peptidomimetics of human neuromedin U receptor 2 peptidic agonists, we have shown that the combination of SET reduction and asymmetric alkylation offers promising access to the precursors of the Arg-Asn-type ADIs. Also, the stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-chloroalkene-type ADIs containing alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acids was established. Functional analyses revealed the unique characters of (Z)-chloroalkene-type ADIs, including the mimic effect of intraresidue H-bonding interactions. The amide-to-alkene isosteric switching strategy with the combination use of (Z)-chloroalkene-type and (E)-methylalkene-type peptidomimetics revealed the details of the contributions of H-bonding interactions in amyloid fibril formation.
