Synthesis and Retrosynthesis of Peptidomimetic Inhibitors Thrombin Presented by: Kevin Condel Overview / Terminology • Goal: To design and synthesize a peptidomimetic that competes to inhibit the enzyme thrombin. • Thrombin is part of a cascade leading to the formation of insoluble fibrin, a material found in blood clots. Unregulated clotting may lead to cardiac arrest or stroke. • A Peptidomimetic is any small organic molecule that mimics the transition state of a natural substrate. • Peptidomimetics competitively inhibit the enzyme process, preventing the natural reaction from occurring. – i.e. - The peptidomimetic binds more readily to thrombin than the substrate. • Hydroxy-aldehydes are important components of peptidomimetic inhibitors of the thrombin system. This work involves the development of a simple, yet effective protocol for the generation of hydroxy-aldehydes. • Blood clotting must be regulated. Thrombin • Errors in blood clotting lead to: – cardiac arrest (in the heart) – stroke (in the brain) • Thrombin begins inactive and is shown on the bottom-left. • Inactive thrombin has extra domains, colored blue, which are clipped off during activation. • The purple atoms are Ca2+ ions, bound to modified glutamate amino acids. – The strong (+) charge on these ions tether the protein to the surfaces of blood vessels, holding thrombin and localizing it to one spot. • Since inactive thrombin is held, blood clots will generally not spread to other areas. – Only the thrombin adjacent to the damage will be activated. • Activated thrombin (the upper structure shown here) lasts only seconds, serving also to limit the clot to the area of damage. • Thrombin is simply part of a cascade which serves to synthesize the cross-linked fibrin polymers found in blood clots. Thrombin Click to enlarge Thrombin as an Enzyme • Thrombin has an active site consisting of the catalytic triad: Ser 195, His 57, and Asp 102 Enzyme Binding Site • In addition to the active site, thrombin has three binding sites, labeled as S1, S2 and S3, that determine the strength and specificity of binding • The lipophilicity of S3 has been well determined • Lipophilicity represents the affinity of a molecule or moiety for a lipophilic environment (i.e. hydrophobicity) Inhibition of the Active Site • Leeches synthesize proteins that block thrombin (and other enzymes), stopping the formation of the clot. • One example, a protein called hirudin, is shown here on the left in blue. Notice how it fits the active site of thrombin perfectly. Peptidomimetics • Small peptide-like molecules that mimic transition state of substrate and work by competitively inhibiting the binding of the natural substrate (ex. Hirudin from the leech) • Peptide analog must be stable. • Drug must be a reversible inhibitor of the enzyme but can be irreversible if the enzyme is unique to the disease. Saquinavir Project Design • Goals: – Design a polypeptide isotere based on a natural thrombin substrate (natural Phe-Pro-Arg tripeptide shown below) – Optimize a generalized scheme for isotere synthesis – Model the S2 and S3 steric and hydrophobic requirements Project Setup • All reactions required an anhydrous environment. • Nitrogen steadily flushed through the system to exclude water vapor. • Various temperatures were achieved as follows: – -78C (Dry Ice + Acetone) – 0C (Ice Bath) Overall Reaction S S Br 1.

The alkoxyaluminum salt in THF created by mixing LiAlH4 with benzoic acid was next added dropwise at room temperature via a separatory funnel 6. The reaction mixture was stirred for 12 hours at room temperature, diluted with diethyl ether, and filtered and washed to remove the supernatant liquid. The ether was then distilled from the filtrate to obtain benzaldehyde.

Reduction of Argenine (Novel Approach) 1. 12.64g Argenine was added under inert nitrogenous conditions to a flask containing 20 mL Methyl Sulfoxide as a solvent. 2.
