Abstract:A straightforward synthesis of orthogonally N /N -protected trans-and cis-4-aminopipecolic acid is reported, starting from methyl cis-4-hydroxypiperidine-2-carboxylate. The two diastereomers were synthesized with the aid of C-4 inversion (the trans isomer) or double C-4 inversion (the cis isomer).

A stereodivergent strategy was devised to obtain enantiopure cis and trans 5-aminopipecolic acids (5-APAs) in suitably protected forms to be employed in peptide synthesis as conformationally constrained α- and δ-amino acids. The cis isomer was used as a δ-amino acid to construct a cyclic RGD-containing peptidomimetic, the ability of which to compete with biotinylated vitronectin for binding with the isolated αVβ3 integrin was measured (IC50 = 4.2 ± 0.9 nM). A complete 1H NMR and computational conformational analysis was performed to elucidate the reasons for the high affinity of this cyclic peptidomimetic in comparison with cilengitide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
