title: Structural biochemistry. 17. Synthesis of tryptophan dipeptides.
abstract: Boc-Trp-Leu hydrazide has been found to significantly inhibit growth of the L-1210 and P388 murine lymphocytic leukemias. A series of related tryptophan dipeptides were prepared and found to be devoid of such activity. The tryptophan dipeptides were most conveniently obtained employing the DCCI-NHS peptide bond-forming procedure.
