Abstract

The synthesis of 1,3,6-trisubstituted-2,5-diketopiperazine scaffolds bearing up to three ‘clickable’ sites for further oxime bond or alkyne–azide cycloaddition ligations is described. The orthogonally Boc/Alloc protected DKP precursors prepared from L-lysine residues and an aminohexyl arm are efficiently prepared on a gram scale by sequentially using Fukuyama–Mitsunobu alkylation, dipeptide coupling and diketopiperazine ring formation as key steps. These scaffolds, with their glyoxylyl, aminooxy, alkynyl or azido functions, are “ready-to-use” platforms for biomolecular assembly. Their potentiality in this field was proved through the chemoselective ligation of Aβ-binding motifs, the KLVFFA peptide and the curcumin molecule. The inhibitory effect of these conjugates on Aβ amyloid fibril formation is reported using thioflavin T fluorescence assays and AFM observation.
