[reaction: see text] We introduce all stereoisomers of a bis-amino acid building block derived from trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline. This small library of monomers allows arbitrary stereochemical configuration at any chiral center within our spiro-ladder oligomers. Three tetramer oligomers containing several combinations of the monomers 1-4 were synthesized; we explored the effect of monomer sequence on scaffold conformation by NMR.

Here, we report a new class of peptidomimetic macrocycles with well-defined three-dimensional structures and low conformational flexibility. They are assembled from fused-ring spiro-ladder oligomers (spiroligomers) by modular solid-phase synthesis. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance confirms their shape persistency.

We demonstrate functionalized spiroligomers that mimic the HDM2-bound conformation of the p53 activation domain. Spiroligomers are stereochemically defined, functionalized, spirocyclic monomers coupled through pairs of amide bonds to create spiro-ladder oligomers. Two series of spiroligomers were synthesized, one of structural analogs and one of stereochemical analogs, from which we identified compound 1, that binds HDM2 with a Kd value of 400 nM.

We demonstrate the synthesis of a series of spin-labeled curved oligomers to determine their end-to-end lengths and distance distributions using electron spin resonance. We synthesize shape-persistent macromolecules from conformationally restricted, asymmetric monomers that are coupled through pairs of amide bonds to create water-soluble, spiro-ladder oligomers with well-defined three-dimensional structures. We synthesized seven different macromolecules, each containing eight monomers but differing in the sequence to create macromolecules with different curved shapes.

We have developed second-generation monomers 1 and 2 and improved conditions for rapidly and simultaneously closing multiple diketopiperazines on solid support. These new conditions involve either the microwave heating of a suspension of solid-supported amino-tetrafluoropropyl esters in acetic acid/triethylamine catalyst solution or continuous flow of catalyst solution through the resin, heated in a flow cell apparatus. We demonstrate that the new monomers 1 and 2 can be combined with the new conditions easily to synthesize previously inaccessible hetero and homo spiro ladder oligomers 3 and 4 and others.
