A. Dalpozzo et al., SYNTHESIS OF RGD ANALOGS CONTAINING ALPHA-TFM-ARGININE AS POTENTIAL FIBRINOGEN RECEPTOR ANTAGONISTS, Tetrahedron, 54(22), 1998, pp. 6019-6028
The synthesis of two peptide mimetics of RGD, alpha-Tfm-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ph
e-NH2 9 and alpha-Tfm-Arg-Gly-Asp-NH-(CH2)(2)-C6H5 13, is described. T
he precursor of alpha-Tfm-ornithine was obtained in two synthetic step
s from 2-N-Cbz-2-Tfm-hexanediacid-1-alkyl ester and introduced into th
e peptide chain by alpha-carboxy-group activation via oxazolone. The i
ntroduction of the guanidine residue led to the final peptides as mixt
ures of the two diastereomers. Configurationally pure peptides were ob
tained in good yields by RP-HPLC. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
