RESUMO
A search for a suitable replacement for the central norbornyl scaffold presented in the recently disclosed novel FLAP inhibitors is herein described, as well as the SAR study performed on the endo and exo-aryl groups.

A synthetic strategy to prepare peptide-polymer conjugates with precise sites of attachment is described. Amino acids modified with atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiators for the polymerization of styrenes and methacrylates were prepared. Fmoc-4-(1-chloroethyl)-phenylalanine (5) was synthesized in four steps from Fmoc-tyrosine. HATU-mediated amidation with glycine-OMe resulted in dipeptide (6). The initiator was effective for Cu(I)/bipyridine mediated bulk polymerization of styrene. Kinetic studies indicated a controlled polymerization, with high conversion (97%), and a polydispersity index (PDI) of 1.25. Fmoc-O-(2-bromoisobutyryl)-serine tert-butyl ester (10) was synthesized from Fmoc-Ser(OTrt)-OH in three steps. This initiator was employed in the ATRP of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and kinetic studies indicated a controlled polymerization. Different monomer to initiator ratios resulted in poly(HEMA) of different molecular weights and narrow PDIs (1.14-1.25). Conversions were between 70 and 99%. HEMA modified with N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) was also polymerized to 84% conversion and the resulting PDI was 1.19. The t-butyl ester protecting group of 10 was removed, and the resulting amino acid (11) was incorporated into VM(11)VVQTK by standard solid-phase peptide synthesis. Polymerization resulted in the glycopolymer-peptide conjugate in 93% conversion and a PDI of 1.14.
