Di- and tripeptide analogues containing α-ketoamide as a new core structure and incorporating allophenylnorstatine (Apns) as a transition state mimic, were designed and synthesized in the hope of obtaining a novel structural type of HIV-1 protease inhibitors. The immediate precursor, Apns-Thz-NHBu(t) was prepared by coupling of Boc-Apns with N-tert·butyl Thz-4-carboxamide hydrochloride. Removal of Boc group followed by coupling with the respective α-ketoacid residue (P2) gave the desired dipeptides (8-12) in almost quantitative yields. The α-keto tripeptides (18-21) were obtained by oxidation of the hydroxyl group of Apns (PI) in the appropriate tripeptide, iQOA-Val-Apns-(un)substituted Thz(Oxa)-NHBu1 with DMSO/DCC. Preliminary evaluation of the activity of the synthesized derivatives was determined as percentage of enzyme inhibition at 5 μM and 50 nM levels of the di- and tripeptides respectively. The α-ketoamides displayed a significant enhanced potency relative to their parent isosteres as inhibitors of HIV-1 protease and are shown to be a promising new core structure for the development of enzyme inhibitors. A quantitative approach was attempted, using an LFE model, correlating the effect of structural modification and HIV-1 protease inhibition activity of the prepared dipeptides. The result indicates the contribution of the torsion angle by 84% to the activity of the inhibitors. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
A practical and convenient synthesis of the protease inhibitor epibestatin

experimental part, p. 2039 - 2042 (2010/08/13)
A convenient synthesis of the protease inhibitor epibestatin, a useful component in protease inhibition cocktails for use in proteomics research, is described. The synthesis sequence consists of seven steps, starting from phenylacetaldehyde, yielding enantiopure epibestatin in 8% overall yield. A regioselective Mitsunobu transformation of a diol is the key step in the sequence. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

Based on the substrate transition state and our strategy to tackle the problem of drug resistance, a series of HIV/FIV protease (HIV/FIV PR) monocyclic inhibitors incorporating a 15- or 17-membered macrocycle with an equivalent P3 or P3′ group and a uniqu
