They have been applied as aversatile tool in structure-activity relationship studies due to enhanced rate of cis/transisomerisation, depending on stereochemistry and degree of substitution at the C-2 atomposition of the proline ring.4-Alkylpseudoprolines derived from -alkyl- -hydroxymethyl amino acids can betransformed into suitable pseudoproline (oxazolidine) unit [2]. The presence of alkylsubstituent at the C-4 atom of the ring changes their chemical and conformationalproperties in <strong>com</strong>parison to pseudoprolines derived from serine or threonine.Results and DiscussionSynthesis and conformational analysis of the short peptides containing (R)- and (S)-4-metylpsudoproline were reported previously [3]. Now we present synthesis, conformationand biological activity of new analogues of cyclolinopeptide A (CLA), containing4-methylpseudoproline instead of proline residues in position 6 or 7. It is known thatimmunosuppressive activity of CLA, <strong>com</strong>parable with cyclosporine A, is connected to thepresence of the tetrapeptide Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe fragment containing Pro-Pro cis amide bond [3].Leu 1 - Val 2 - (R)-MeSer( pro) 3 - Pro 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9Leu 1 - Val 2 - Pro 3 - (R)-MeSer( pro) 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9cyclo - (Leu 1 - Val 2 - (R)-MeSer( pro) 3 - Pro 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9 )cyclo - (Leu 1 - Val 2 - Pro 3 - (R)-MeSer( pro) 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9 )Leu 1 - Val 2 - (S)-MeSer( pro) 3 - Pro 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9Leu 1 - Val 2 - Pro 3 - (S)-MeSer( pro) 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9cyclo - (Leu 1 - Val 2 - (S)-MeSer( pro) 3 - Pro 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9 )cyclo - (Leu 1 - Val 2 - Pro 3 - (S)-MeSer( pro) 4 - Phe 5 - Phe 6 - Leu 7 - Ile 8 - Ile 9 )7R6R7S6SThe linear precursors of modified CLA analogues were prepared manually by standardsolid-phase procedure “step by step” on Wang resin, using Fmoc group for N -aminoprotection and TBTU as a coupling reagent. N-9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl derivativesof 4-methylpseudoproline were obtained in good yield (~70%) by one potcyclocondensation of the corresponding -methylserine with formaldehyde andN-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyloxy)succinimide in alkaline solution. The NH-group in4-methylpseudoproline residue was acylated ("difficult coupling") by using BTC(bis-(trichlomethyl)carbonate) in the presence of collidine. The cyclization of linearprecursors has been achieved in solution using EDC/HOBt as coupling reagents. Structuresof all <strong>com</strong>pounds were characterized by MS and NMR spectroscopy.NMR-studiesThe replacement of one or both Pro residues by 4-methylpseudoproline changedsignificantly the 1 H NMR spectra of 6R and 7R in <strong>com</strong>parison to that recorded for theunmodified CLA in CDCl 3 at 298 K and 700 MHz. All signals except signals of methylgroups are broad and unresolved. The presence of MeSer( pro) residue decreased the rateof the chemical exchange among conformers of similar energy, characteristic for CLA.464
