The main field of investigation involved the discovery of new strategies for regioselective synthesis of chiral piperazinones, essential building blocks for peptidomimetics. Cyclisation mechanism pathways were investigated using incorporation of labelled atoms. The synthesis of an enantiomerically pure peptidomimetic of M1 muscarinic agonist for treatment of CNS’s disease was carried out. Furthermore, correlations between endogenous peptides and synthetic peptidomimetics have been investigated for drug design and development.
