We describe a series of conformationally-restricted cinnamic acid peptidomimetics as well as several cinnamic acid isosteres, including 3-phenylpropionic acids, 2-amino-3-phenylpropionic acids, phenoxyacetic acids and 2-phenylcyclopropylcarboxylic acids. Several analogues demonstrated low to sub-nanomolar potencies against alpha(v)beta(3) and greater than 200-fold selectivity against the other beta(3) integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3). In whole 293 cells, many of these analogues also showed modest selectivity against other alpha(v) integrins such as alpha(v)beta(1) and alpha(v)beta(5). These compounds were synthesized from readily available starting materials using either Heck or Mitsunobu coupling conditions.
