    Notes: Abstract (Z)-2-(2-phenylbenzylidene)-3-quinuclidinone, C20H19NO,M r =300.47D crystallizes in the monoclinicP21/c space group witha = 6.9809(2) Å,b=19.0523(2) Å,c = 11.7733(1) Å,β=100.92(2)°,V=1537.5(3) Å3,Z=4,D c = 1.298 g/cm3,D x =1.29 g/cm3 (flotation). Diffractometric data, using CuKα radiation,λ=1.54178 Å, were collected on plate-like crystals. The structure, solved by direct methods was refined to a final R value of 0.037 for the 2645 observed reflections withF o 〉3.0σ(F o ). The molecule shows a trans conformation around the double bond. The quinuclidine and the diphenyl moieties present deformations in their geometric and conformational parameters due to the need of releasing intramolecular strains and/or nonbonded interactions.

    Notes: In this paper we describe the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of a covalent helix-heme-helix sandwich named FeIII mimochrome I. It contains deuterohemin bound through both propionyl groups to two identical N-and C-terminal protected nonapeptides as α-helical scaffolds. Each peptide moiety bears a His residue in the central position, which acts as axial ligand to the metal ion. The newly developed synthetic strategy is based on a combination of solution and solid-phase methodologies. It represents a powerful method for obtaining a large variety of analogues containing two symmetric or unsymmetric peptide chains covalently bound to the deuteroporphyrin ring. UV/Visible spectroscopic characterization in buffered 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol/water solution proves low-spin bis(his-tidine) iron(III) coordination; circular dichroism (CD) measurements show an α-helical conformation for the peptide moieties. Thus, all the data are in agreement with the designed hypothetical model regarding both the iron(III) coordination and the peptide chain structural organization.

    Notes: FeIII mimochrome I is the prototype of a new class of hemoprotein models characterized by a covalent helix-heme-helix sandwich. It contains deuterohemin bound through two propionyl groups to two identical N- and C-terminal protected α-helical nonapeptides, each of which bears a His residue (a potential axial lig-and of the iron ion) in the central position. In order to understand better the three-dimensional structure of FeIII mimochrome I and its correlation with spectral properties, we have characterized the fully diamagnetic parent compound CoIII mimochrome I by UV/visible, CD, and NMR spectroscopy, coupled with conformational energy calculations. CoIII mimochrome I is a highly water-soluble compound present in solution as two isomers, which slowly interconvert only at very low pH values. These isomers were isolated and separately characterized. Their UV/visible spectral properties are very similar, while their CD spectral properties differ markedly in both the far UV and Soret regions. The isomers were identified by 1H NMR spectroscopy as diastereomers of the δ and δ type. This is the first example of an accurate three-dimensional structure determination in solution of a hemoprotein mimetic that allows a straightforward correlation between structure and spectral properties.

    Notes: Neurokinin A receptor antagonists have been proposed as a new class of drugs for several applications in humans (asthama, intestinal motility, etc.). The rational design, synthesis, structural characterization and biological activity evaluation of a new potent, highly selective, long-lasting, peptide-based receptor antagonist are reported. The structure-activity relationship indicates that the conformational rigidity determines potency, specificity and especially the long life of the molecule in the living body. MEN 10627 is the prototype of a new class of cyclic, peptide-based, neurokinin A receptor antagonists and it is a suitable candidate for clinical testing in humans.

    Notes: The crystal structures of three fully protected tripeptides containing the Dφg residue (Cα,α-diphenylglycine) in the central position are reported, namely Z-Gly-Dφg-Gly-OMe (a), Z-Gly-Dφg-Aib-OMe (b) and Z-Aib-Dφg-Aib-OMe (c). The molecular conformations are quite unusual because the Dφg residue adopts a folded conformation in the 310-helical region when the following residue adopts a folded conformation of opposite handedness (peptidesbandc). In contrast, the Dφg residue adopts the more frequently observed fully extended conformation when the following residue adopts a semi-extended conformation (peptidea). These findings are in agreement with the theoretical calculations on Ac-Dφg-Aib-NHCH3 and Ac-Aib-Dφg-NHCH3 also reported in this work. © 1998 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The conformational analysis of synthetic cyclodecapeptide c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Aib-Leu)2 related to the cyclolinopeptide A, in the solid state and solution, has been carried out by x-ray diffraction and nmr spectroscopy. The structure of the monoclinic form obtained from methanol [a = 11.351(5) Å, b = 27.455(2) Å, c = 12.716(8) Å, β = 99.65(3)°; space group P21; Z = 2] shows the presence of six intramolecular NH···CO hydrogen bonds, with formation of four turns (three of type I and one of type III) and two C16 ring structures. All peptide units are trans. The solution structure, as found by nmr, indicates that, at room temperature, the peptide is conformationally homogeneous; the structure determined is perfectly symmetrical and topologically similar to that found in the solid state. The cyclodecapeptide exhibits similar biological activity to cyclolinopeptide A. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 40: 465-478, 1996

    Notes: The conformational behavior in solution of a cyclic peptide with sequence cyclo-(Pro1-Pro2-Dab3 (cHexA)ψ[N7HCO]-Leu4ψ[NHCO]-Suc5-Gly6-) has been throughly investigated with the combined use of nmr and molecular dynamic techniques. The compound, which has been modeled to mimic the FK506 macrolide bound to the FK506 binding protein structure, can be considered as a peptidic analogue of the FK506 system.The synthesis was carried out on a phenylacetoamidomethyl resin using an appropriate protocol for the peptide chain elongation. The conformational properties of the cyclic hexapeptide were studied in DMSO and water. The nmr data in DMSO and restrained molecular dynamics simulations show the presence of two contiguous cis peptide bonds involving the -Gly-Pro-Pro- segment. This segment in water exhibits conformational heterogeneity presenting at least two distinct conformational families, characterized the first by cis-cis and the second by a trans-cis Gly-Pro-Pro configuration; the trans-cis isomer was fully characterized. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
