iso-Lactam and reduced amide analogues of the peptidomimetic dopamine receptor modulator 3(R)-[(2(S)-Pyrrolidinylcarbonyl)amino]-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide

An analogue of the highly potent gamma-lactam Pro-Leu-Gly-NH(2) peptidomimetic, 3(R)-[(2(S)-pyrrolidinylcarbonyl) amino]-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide (2), 4(R)-[[2(S)-pyrrolidinylcarbonyl]amino]-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide (3), in which the lactam carbonyl moiety has been placed in a different position with respect to the 3-amino group was synthesized. Also, a series of analogues of 2, compounds 4-6, were synthesized in which each of the amide …
