In drug discovery, molecular modification over the lead molecule is often crucial for the development of a drug. Herein, we report the molecular hybridization design of a novel RXPA380-proline hybrid via linking the parent compound, phosphinic peptide RXPA380, with a proline analogue. The presented synthetic route is straightforward and produces the desired product RXPA380-P in moderate yield. The C- and N-domain constructs of the angiotensin-converting enzyme of RXPA380-P appeared to be poor inhibitors of ACE as compared to the parent compound RXPA380.
