[reaction: see text] A straightforward synthetic route for the synthesis of diastereomerically pure psi[(E)-CMe=CH]- and psi[(E)-CMe=CMe]-type dipeptide isosteres was developed on the basis of regio- and stereoselective anti-S(N)2' alkylation of 3-(N-Boc-5-methyl-4-substituted-oxazolidin-2-on-5-yl)acrylates with organocopper reagents.

Ample biologically active peptides have been found, identified and modified for use in drug discovery to date. However, several factors, such as low metabolic stability due to proteolysis and non-specific interactions with multiple off-target molecules, might limit the therapeutic use of peptides. To enhance the stability and/or bioactivity of peptides, the development of "peptidomimetics," which mimick peptide molecules, is considered to be idealistic.

Alkene dipeptide isosteres (ADIs) are promising surrogates of peptide bonds that enhance the bioactive peptide resistance to enzymatic hydrolysis in medicinal chemistry. In this study, we investigated the substitution effects of an ADI on the energy barrier of cis-trans isomerization in the acetyl proline methyl ester (Ac-Pro-OMe) model. The (E)-alkene-type proline analog, which favors a cis-amide conformation, exhibits a lower rotational barrier than native Ac-Pro-OMe.

Serine-proline (Ser-Pro) backbone-modified dipeptide analogues are powerful tools to investigate the role of cis-trans isomerization in the regulation of the cell cycle and transcription. These studies have previously been limited to synthetic peptides, whose synthesis is a challenge for larger peptides due to the compounding yield loss incurred in each step. We now introduce a method for the aminoacylation of tRNA with dipeptides and dipeptide analogs to permit the installation of cis- and trans-locked Ser-Pro analogues into full-length proteins.

The inhibition mode of a retro-inverso (RI) inhibitor containing a hydroxyethylamine dipeptide isostere against the human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1) protease was examined. Enzymatic evaluation of the RI-modified inhibitor containing a D-allo-Ile residue revealed that HTLV-1 was competitively inhibited. IC values of the RI-modified inhibitor and pepstatin A, a standard inhibitor of aspartic proteases, were nearly equivalent.

CPN-116 is a peptidic agonist that activates human neuromedin U receptor type 2 (NMUR2) but suffers from chemical instability due to inherent backbone isomerization on the Dap residue. To address this, a Leu-Dap-type ()-chloroalkene dipeptide isostere was synthesized diastereoselectively as a surrogate of the Leu-Dap peptide bond to develop a ()-chloroalkene analogue of CPN-116. The synthesized CPN-116 analogue is stable in 1.
