Abstract

A model of the conformation of the enzyme-bound inhibitor of human renin suggested the possibility of a gamma-lactam conformational restriction at the P2-P3 site. Synthetic routes to these gamma-lactam dipeptide isosteres and their incorporation into potential renin inhibitors are described. Peptide VIa,b with a gamma-lactam conformational constraint and a hydroxyethylene isostere at the cleavage site inhibited human plasma renin with an IC50 value of 6.5 nM. The flexibility of these syntheses should make available a number of potential enzyme inhibitors with this structural feature for the study of enzyme-bound conformers.
