AbstractÐSeveral RGD peptidomimetics have been prepared, in a convergent way, from the common ortho-aminotyrosine template (O-substituted with an anchorage-arm or a methyl group, and aN-substituted with a¯uorine tag for XPS analysis), and various o-aminoacid derivatives. The most¯exible compounds have shown a biological activity similar to that of the peptide reference (RGDS) in the platelet aggregation test. The compound 16a could be ®tted (by modelisation) with DMP 728 and c(RGDfV), two cyclic peptides that are good ligands of integrins. The compound 16b has been covalently ®xed on the surface of a poly(ethylene terephthalate) membrane used as support for mammalian cell cultivation. #
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
