Fluoro-Aryl Substituted ?,?2,3-Peptides in the Development of Foldameric Antiparallel ?-Sheets: A Conformational Study.

ABSTRACT: ?,?2,3-Disteroisomeric foldamers of general formula Boc(S-Ala-?-2R,3R-Fpg)nOMe or Boc(S-Ala-?-2S,3S-Fpg)nOMe were prepared from both enantiomers of syn H-2-(2-F-Phe)-h-PheGly-OH (named ?-Fpg) and S-alanine. Our peptides show two appealing features for biomedical applications: the presence of fluorine, attractive for non-covalent interactions, and aryl groups, crucial for ?-stacking. A conformational study was performed, using IR, NMR and computational studies of diastereoisomeric tetra- and hexapeptides containing the ?2,3-amino acid in the R,R- and S,S-stereochemistry, respectively. We found that the stability of peptide conformation is dependent on the stereochemistry of the ?-amino acid. Combining S-Ala with ?-2R,3R-Fpg, a stable extended ?-strand conformation was obtained. Furthermore, ?-2R,3R-Fpg containing hexapeptide self-assembles to form antiparallel ?-sheet structure stabilized by intermolecular H-bonds and ?,?-interactions. These features make peptides containing the ?2,3-fluoro amino acid very appealing for the development of bioactive proteolytically stable foldameric ?-sheets as modulators of protein-protein interaction (PPI).
