Cyclic hydroxyamidines were designed and validated as isosteric replacements of the amide functionality. Compounds with these structural motifs were found to be metabolically stable and to possess highly desirable pharmacokinetic profiles. These designs were applied in the identification of γ-secretase modulators leading to highly efficacious agents for reduction of central nervous system Aβ(42) in various animal models.

Amidine-type peptide bond isosteres were designed based on the substitution of the peptide bond carbonyl (C=O) group with an imino (C=NH) group. The positively-charged property of the isosteric part resembles a reduced amide-type peptidomimetic. The peptidyl amidine units were synthesized by the reduction of a key amidoxime (N-hydroxyamidine) precursor, which was prepared from nitrile oxide components as an aminoacyl or peptidyl equivalent.

The title compound, 2C(17)H(20)N(2)O·CH(2)Cl(2), was obtained by N-oxidation of the parent formamidine with m-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid (m-CPBA). This is the first use of the above-mentioned synthetic route for the preparation of hydroxy-amidines. The title compound crystallizes as a cyclic dimer resulting from the presence of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
