Trisubstituted (E)-alkene dipeptide isosteres as beta-turn promoters in the gramicidin S cyclodecapeptide scaffold.

ABSTRACT: [reaction: see text] A concise synthesis of a gramicidin S analogue with trisubstituted (E)-alkene dipeptide isostere (TEADI) replacements at both d-Phe-Pro positions was realized. Conformational analysis demonstrated that TEADIs can serve as type II beta-turn promoters in a cyclic scaffold and successfully mimic a proline residue.
