Abstract
dc:descriptionTherefore, linear peptides with two metal binding sites were obtained by solid phase synthesis. Upon coordination of these ligands to a metal centre a metalla-cyclopeptide will be formed. The choosen peptide sequences are found in naturally occuring proteins or cyclopeptides, which bioactivities depends on the sequence of the amino acids as well as it´s loop type structure. Pd(II) and Mo(VI)O2 are used as metal centres to obtain different conformations at the peptide backbone in the metalla-cyclopeptides. This requires the use of pyridine and catechol as metal binding sites. Following to this concept, a series of Mo(VI)O2-metalla-cyclopeptides could be obtained in a highly stereoselektiv manner. These metalla-cyclopeptides represents analogs of the RGD front in Echistatin, which binds to the integrins, of the estrogen-like cyclopeptides Segetalin A and B and finally of the somatostatin-like cyclopeptide Urotensin II, which posses vasoconstrictor activity. Furthermore, pentapeptide-bridged macrocyclic Mo(VI)O2-complexes were synthesized, that offers more knowledge in the stabilisation of peptide-a-helical structure.
