Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to hexafluoroleucine and congeners thereof, and methods of making the compounds. Another aspect of the nvention relates to the synthesis of protein cores comprising hexafluoroleucine and congeners thereof. Certain peptides comprising hexafluorleucine and congeners thereof have been characterized using comparative biophysical studies. In general, the fluorinated peptides show higher thermal stability and enhanced resistance to chemical denaturation. Further, mixed hydrocarbonfluorocarbon cores self-sort into homogeneous bundles, suggesting new avenues for the design and manipulation of protein-protein interfaces.
Abstract: This invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The agents define a new subclass of compounds, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM). Several of the SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected androgenic and anabolic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. Other SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected antiandrogenic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor.
Abstract: The present invention is directed to benzophenone compounds useful in the inhibition of HIV reverse transcriptase, particularly its resistant varieties.
