Abstract:
α,α′-Disubstituted amino acids serve as important non-proteinogenic amino acids in the construction of stabilized helical peptides. To expand the repertoire of α,α′-disubstituted amino acids, chiral alkenyl-containing cyclopropane amino acids were synthesized via a two-step olefination and cyclopropanation procedure. Herein, we report the first example of the use of alkenyl cyclopropane building blocks to constrain MDM2-targeting helical peptides. The increased potency and efficacy associated with C-terminal cyclopropane substitution is postulated to be driven by a combined effect of net hydrophobicity and enhanced protein association rates.
