General. All solid-phase synthesis chemicals purchased from commercial sources were dried in dessicator before use; all other chemicals were used as supplied without further purification. Apart from NMP, all organic solvents were dried and freshly distilled before use according to literature procedures. cTrt resin (2-chlorotrityl chloride polymer bound, 100-300 mesh, nominal loading ~1.6 mmol/g, calculated loading 1.55 mmol/g) was from Fluka; coupling reagents were from either Bachem or Aldrich. All moisture sensitive reactions were carried out under a positive pressure of nitrogen or argon. TNBS test was performed according to the following procedure. A few resin beads were sampled and accurately washed with ethanol. The sample was then placed in a vial and 1 drop of a 10% solution of DIEA in DMF and 1 drop of 1% TNBS in DMF were added. The sample was then observed under a microscope and colour changes noted. The TNBS test is considered positive (presence of free amino groups) when the resin beads turn orange or red within 1 min and negative (no free amino groups) when the beads remain colourless. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on silica gel 60 F254 precoated plates (Merck) with visualization under short-wavelength UV light or by dipping the plates with molybdate reagent (H2O/concentrated H2SO4/(NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O/Ce2(SO4)3 90/10/25/1 v/v/w/w) followed by heating. Flash chromatography was performed on 40-63 µm silica gel (Merck) using the indicated solvent mixtures. Analytical reversed-phase HPLC was performed on a SpectraSystem P2000 apparatus (Thermo Separation Products, UV detection 220 or 254 nm) equipped with a C18-10µm column (Discovery BIO Wide Pore, 250 × 4.6 mm). Semipreparative reversed-phase HPLC was performed on a Prostar 210 apparatus (Varian, UV detection at 220 or 254 nm) equipped with a C18-10µm column (Discovery BIO Wide Pore, 250 × 10 mm). Direct infusion ESI-MS spectra were recorded on API 150EX apparatus (Applied Biosystems). High-resolution mass spectrometry measurements (HRMS) were performed on a APEX IIIQ Fourier transform mass spectrometer (Bruker) equipped with an

S2

external electrospray ion source. Melting points were determined with an optical thermomicroscope Optiphot2-Pol (Nikon) and are uncorrected. Optical rotations were measured using a Perkin-Elmer model 341 polarimeter at ambient temperature using a 100-mm cell with a 1-mL capacity and are given in units of 10-1 deg cm2 g-1. Elemental analyses were performed by the Microanalytical Laboratory of the University of Parma. Routine NMR spectra were recorded on Avance 300 (Bruker) or Mercury Plus MP-400 (Varian) NMR spectrometers. Chemical shifts ( ) are reported in parts per million (ppm) with TMS (CDCl3), CD2HOD, and HOD resonance peaks set at 0, 3.31, and 4.80 ppm, respectively. For sample preparation and NMR experiments of target cyclopeptides 5-12, see the Experimental Section in the main text. Fmoc-Asp(But)-OH, Fmoc-Arg(Pmc)-OH, and Fmoc-Gly-OH were purchased from Fluka or Bachem. Trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (13) was purchased from Fluka. Cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline (14) was prepared from 13 in a 65% yield according to a known three-step procedure (Ac2O, AcOH; then 2N HCl; then Ag2CO3).1 Compound 14 is also commercially available from Fluka.

(2.0 g, 15.3 mmol) and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate (6.66 g, 30.5 mmol). After being refluxed for 2 h, the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was cooled to 0 °C, followed by addition of NaH2PO4 (150 mg), and the solution was acidified with diluted HCl to pH 2. The mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 30 min. Then it was extracted with EtOAc (4 ×), and the combined organic layers were collected, dried (MgSO4), and filtered. Evaporating off the solvent under reduced pressure afforded trans-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-4-hydroxy-L-proline (13a) (3.0 g, 85%) as a colourless foam and used directly for the next step: [ ]25D –77 (c 0.8, H2O); S3

The spectral and chiro-optical characteristics of this compound fully matched those reported for the commercially available material (Fluka). Proline 13a (3.0, 13.0 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (50 mL) and the solution was cooled to 0 °C. Aqueous caesium carbonate (2.12 g in 32 mL H2O) was added. The solution was concentrated and sufficient DMF was added to azeotrope the water, leaving a white solid which was dissolved in DMF (60 mL). Benzyl bromide (1.5 mL, 13.0 mmol) was added at 0 °C and the mixture was stirred vigorously at room temperature for 20 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, dissolved in EtOAc (40 mL), and washed with water (2 ×) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (2 ×). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to produce a residue which was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc 50:50) affording benzylproline 15 as a colorless oil (3.97 g, 95%): [ ]25D –61.3 (c 4.0, CHCl3); [lit.2 [ ]25D –63.34 (c 1, CHCl3)]; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, mixture of rotamers)

After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, saturated aq NaHCO3 solution was added until neutral pH. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (4 ×) and the organic layers were collected, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford a crude residue which was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (EtOAc/MeOH 96:4) to afford N -deprotected azidoproline intermediate 17b (294 mg, 83%), whose optical and spectral characteristics are reported above (see transformation of compound 17 into 22, first step). To an ice-cooled solution7 of azidoproline intermediate 17b (294 mg, 1.19 mmol) in DCE (10 mL) were added freshly distilled heptanal (0.20 mL, 1.43 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride [NaBH(OAc)3] (353 mg, 1.67 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and quenched with saturated aq NaHCO3 solution until neutral pH. Extraction with EtOAc (4 ×), drying of the organic layers over MgSO4, filtration, and evaporation of the solvent in vacuo gave a crude residue, which was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc 80:20) to yield Nheptyl azidoproline 17g (348 mg, 85%) as an oil; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 7.30 (m, 5H), 5.21 (m, 2H), 4.01 (m, 1H), 3.28 (dd, J = 8.9, 6.3 Hz, 1H), 3.23 (dd, J = 10.3, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 2.73 (dt, J = 12.3, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 2.62 (dd, J = 9.9, 5.7 Hz, 1H), 2.51 (dt, J = 13.3, 8.7 Hz, 1H), 2.39 (dt, J = 11.6, 7.0 Hz, 1H), 2.12 (ddd, J = 13.9, 5.4, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 1.45 (m, 2H), 1.2-1.4 (m, 8H), 0.75 (m, 3H);

Figure S17. Schematic 2D representation of ligand 9 bound to the

V 3

receptor highlighting the

protein residues that form the main interactions with the different structural units of the inhibitor. The dashed lines represent H-bonding and salt bridges.

Figure S18. Best-scored docking solution of ligands 5 (up), 9 (middle), and 10 (down) into the

V 3

binding site (as Connolly surface) highlighting the complementarity between the ligands and the receptor. An evident hydrophobic hollow hosting the N -n-heptyl and N -propanoyl chains of ligands 9 and 10 is visible. The protein residues involved in the ligand-receptor binding are colored in red; the manganese ion sites are colored in magenta. Nonpolar hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity.

Figure S19. Superposition of docked structure 5 (red), 9 (blue), and 10 (green) to the X-ray

V 3-

bound conformation of 1 (yellow). The highly active, aminoproline-based ligands 5, 9, and 10 share a common cyclopeptide backbone arrangement, as well as similar C Arg-Asp distances. Hydrogen atoms are omitted for clarity.
