1. Introduction
Peptides are among the most versatile bioactive molecules e.g.many peptide hormones and analogous short peptides exert their action by binding to membrane receptors [1]. Peptides and their derivatives may also exhibit a broad spectrum of biological activ-ities such as antimicrobial [2], antiviral, and anticancer activities[3]. However, most natural peptides are composed of L -form a-amino acids and because of the ubiquitous prevalence of pepti-dases, they have limited biostability, and consequently low bioavailability. To overcome this problem, stable and at the same time biologically active pseudo-peptides have been developed. These novel compounds open up new perspectives in drug design by providing an entire range of highly speci fi c and non-toxic
pharmaceuticals. With growing application on their synthesis and bioactivity, chemists and biologists in recent years have directed considerable attention on the research of pseudo-peptide derivatives mimicking the pharmacophore and thus the activity of the original peptide [4,5]. As isosteres of peptides, phosphono-peptides containing a transition state analogue of the hydrolysis of the amide bond represent another attractive approach for the preparation of proteolytically stable peptides [6]. In addition to increased stability, incorporation of a phosphonate moiety into the peptide sequence also provides access to additional binding interactions within the transition state conformation of the enzyme/substrate complex [7]. A wide range of phosphonopep-tides have been used to design very effective protease inhibitors[8 -10 ]. However, since there are only a limited number of economically viable chemicals available for practical application in biological science or agriculture [11] , a great deal of scope still lies ahead for further research in this field. In this context, in order to find broad spectrum biologically active pseudo-peptide thiourea, we have previously described preparation of certain chiral thio-urea derivatives containing a-aminophosphonate moiety with signifi cant antiviral activity [12]. Herein, we further turned our attention to prepare novel compounds with enhanced antitumor activities by incorporating a-aminophosphonate moiety at the 1 or 3-position of pseudo-peptide thiourea. The primary aim of this study is to synthesize the title compounds and study their anti-tumor activities for the development of a new inhibitor to PC3, Bcap37 and BGC823 cells. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the synthesis and antitumor activity of pseudo-peptide thioureas containing a-aminophosphonate moiety.
