“…This hydrogen bond would be expected to be stronger for the thioamide than for the amide. 5,65 This may explain why both the R S 3A and R S 1A peptides can effectively inhibit Cts L.…”
Information on the effects of sidechain and backbone modification on the activity of cathepsin (Cts) L, V, K, S, and B was used to design a thioamide peptide that is inert to all Cts and selectively inhibits Cts L.

Thioamide peptides were synthesized in a straightforward one‐pot process via the linkage of diverse natural amino acids in the presence of thiolphosphonate and trichlorosilane, wherein carbonyl groups were replaced with thiono compounds with minimal racemization. Experimental and computational mechanistic studies demonstrated that the trichlorosilane enables the activation of carboxylic acids via intense interactions with the Si−O bond, followed by coupling of the carboxylic acids with thiolphosphonate to obtain the key intermediate S‐acyl dithiophosphate. Silyl‐activated quadrangular metathesis transition states afforded the thioamide peptides. The potential applications of these thioamide peptides were further highlighted via late‐stage linkages of diverse natural products and pharmaceutical drugs and the thioamide moiety.

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.
