An indolizidinone motif with strategically placed substitutents was designed and synthesized as a constrained mimic of D-Phe-Pho-Arg. Low nanomolar inhibition of α-thrombin validates the design elements in this inhibitor which also exhibits a 20-fold selectivity for thrombin versus trypsin. An X-ray crystal structure of the inhibitor with α-thrombin shows the expected interactions with key amino acids within the active site and some notable changes in positions.

A versatile synthesis of a β-turn peptidomimetic scaffold: An approach towards a designed model antagonist of the tachykinin NK-2 receptor

, p. 1567 - 1572 (2007/10/03)
A general and stereocontrolled synthesis of an azabicyclo[4.3.0]nonane amino acid template with an appended substitutent at C-5 was developed. The approach allows for stereochemical and functional variations that extend the utility of these rigid amino acid motifs as peptidomimetics. The synthesis of a weakly active but specific NK-2 receptor antagonist is described.
