Tk. Chakraborty et al., 2,5-Anhydro sugar diacid and 2,5-anhydro sugar diamine based C-2 symmetricpeptidomimetics as potential HIV-1 protease inhibitors, TETRAHEDR L, 41(51), 2000, pp. 10121-10125
Conformationally constrained molecular frameworks of the 2,5-anhydro sugar
diacid (9) and 2,5-anhydro sugar diamines (10, 11) were used to construct a
rchitecturally beautiful novel C-2 symmetric peptidomimetics 1-8. Although
none of these compounds showed any significant HIV-I protease inhibitory ac
tivity, further refinements in design may lead to protease inhibitors based
on these rigid carbohydrate-derived scaffolds. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science L
