title: From peptides to non-peptide peptidomimetics: design and synthesis of new piperidine inhibitors of aspartic peptidases.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The 3-alkoxy-4-arylpiperidine inhibitors of aspartic peptidases are shown to be a new type of non-peptide peptidomimetic inhibitor. These piperidines can be designed from peptide-derived inhibitors by use of a structure-generating program but only after the enzyme active site conformation has been modified in a mechanistically related fashion. New enantioselective syntheses of 3-alkoxy-4-arylpiperidine analogues are described.
