Preorganization of the hydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere: the preferred conformation in solution resembles the conformation bound to BACE.

Conformational analysis in solution of beta-secretase inhibitors 1 and 2 by NMR spectroscopy reveals that the hydroxyethylene isostere, an apparently flexible fragment widely used as a scissile bond replacement in aspartic protease inhibitors, exists in one predominant conformation in solution. This preferred conformation is similar to that adopted by the hydroxyethylene core of 1 in complex with beta-secretase and that adopted by hydroxyethylene cores of related compounds when bound to aspartic proteases, indicating that this structural unit is preorganized in solution.[1]
