R. Hirschmann et al., THE VERSATILE STEROID NUCLEUS - DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF A PEPTIDOMIMETIC EMPLOYING THIS NOVEL SCAFFOLD, Tetrahedron, 49(17), 1993, pp. 3665-3676
The design and synthesis of peptidomimetic 1 employing the novel cyclo
pentanoperhydrophenanthrene skeleton is described. The large body of s
teroid literature allows for the introduction of diverse peptidal side
chains with precise regio- and stereoselective control. Compound 1 bi
nds to the fibrinogen receptor on blood platelets (GP IIb/IIIa), for w
hich it was designed, with an IC50 of ca. 100 muM.
