Replacing the Pro6 in the p6
Gag-derived 9-mer "P-E-P-T-
A-
P-P-E-E" with
N-substituted glycine (NSG) residues is problematic. However,incorporation of hydrazone amides ("peptoid hydrazones") can be readily achieved in library fashion. Furthermore, reduction of these hydrazonesto
N-substituted "peptoid hydrazides" affords a facile route to library diversification. This approach is demonstrated by application to Tsg101-binding compounds designed as potential HIV budding antagonists.
