“…In particular, the latter have been utilized as structural elements in peptidomimetic inhibitors of HIV protease and HIV replication, antibacterial MurB inhibitors, dopamine D4 and CGRP receptor antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, and integrin inhibitors . In the literature, cyclic ureas are most commonly constructed via treatment of 1,2-diamine precursors with carbonyldiimidazole, or by intramolecular diamination of alkenes, via rearrangement of Asn, , via ring expansion of aziridine derivatives, by cyclization of aza-propargylglycinamides, by alkylation of the urea nitrogen of semicarbazone residues, by Pd-catalyzed urea carboamination reactions, and so on. Although a number of synthetic methods are available, many are not feasible in peptide chemistry.…”
