This paper reviews the solution-phase synthesis of trifluoromethyl (Tfm)-an
alogues of bioactive peptides, such as RGD-peptides and the aspartyl protea
se inhibitor pepstatin, and the solution/solid-phase synthesis of Tfm-subst
ituted retro- and retro-inverso peptides and hydroxamates. (C) 2001 Elsevie
