Abstract

The chemical synthesis, conformational analysis and receptor binding studies of novel constrained cyclosporin A (CsA) analogues are described. The selective insertion of pseudo-proline (PsiPro) systems featuring different 2-C-substituents at the oxazolidine ring exerts dramatic effects upon the backbone conformation as demonstrated by NMR analysis. It is shown that the insertion of a Psi(MeMe)pro at position 5 (Thr(5)CsA) maintains binding to cyclophilin A as well as to calcineurin and shows a 5-6 cis amide bond with all remaining amide bonds trans. The elaborated synthetic routes for generating PsiPro containing Cs derivatives pave the way for extended structure-activity relationship studies aiming at the design of potential pharmacologically active compounds with a selective activity profile.

Protein quaternary structure

Protein quaternary structure is the fourth (and highest) classification level of protein structure. Protein quaternary structure refers to the structure of proteins which are themselves composed of two or more smaller protein chains (also referred to as subunits). Protein quaternary structure describes the number and arrangement of multiple folded protein subunits in a multi-subunit complex. It includes organizations from simple dimers to large homooligomers and complexes with defined or variable numbers of subunits.

Total synthesis

Total synthesis is the complete chemical synthesis of a complex molecule, often a natural product, from simple, commercially-available precursors. It usually refers to a process not involving the aid of biological processes, which distinguishes it from semisynthesis. Syntheses may sometimes conclude at a precursor with further known synthetic pathways to a target molecule, in which case it is known as a formal synthesis. Total synthesis target molecules can be natural products, medicinally-important active ingredients, known intermediates, or molecules of theoretical interest.

Chemical synthesis

In chemistry, chemical synthesis (chemical combination) is the artificial execution of chemical reactions to obtain one or several products. This occurs by physical and chemical manipulations usually involving one or more reactions. In modern laboratory uses, the process is reproducible and reliable. A chemical synthesis involves one or more compounds (known as reagents or reactants) that will experience a transformation when subjected to certain conditions. Various reaction types can be applied to formulate a desired product.
