Article Abstract

Template-constrained cyclic sulfopeptides that inhibit HIV-1 entry were rationally designed based on a loop from monoclonal antibody (mAb) 412d. A focused set of sulfopeptides was synthesized using Fmoc-Tyr(SO3DCV)-OH (DCV = 2,2-dichlorovinyl). Three cyclic sulfopeptides that inhibit entry of HIV-1 and complement the activity of known CCR5 antagonists were identified.

Peptide-protein interactions are important mediators of cellular-signaling events. Consensus binding motifs (also known as short linear motifs) within these contacts underpin molecular recognition, yet have poor pharmacological properties as discrete species. Here, we present methods to transform intact peptides into stable, templated macrocycles.

Beta-turns are a common secondary structure motif found in proteins that play a role in protein folding and stability and participate in molecular recognition interactions. Somatostatin, a peptide hormone possessing a variety of therapeutically-interesting biological activities, contains a beta-turn in its bioactive conformation. The beta-turn and biological activities of somatostatin have been succesfully mimicked in cyclic hexapeptide analogues.
