Abstract

We present the synthesis and structural study of a new peptidomimetic of morphiceptin, which can formally be considered as the result of the replacement of the central proline residue of this natural analgesic drug with a subunit of (1S,2R,3S,4S,5R)-2-amino-3,4,5-trihydroxycyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid, previously obtained from L-idose. An optimized synthesis of this trihydroxylated cispentacin derivative is also reported. Molecular docking calculations on the target receptor support a favorable role of the hydroxy substituents of the non-natural β-amino acid incorporated into the peptidomimetic
