Cyclic disulfides, such as asparagusic acid, enhance the uptake of a variety of cargoes into live cells. Here, we report a robust and scalable synthesis of an asparagusic acid modified lysine. This amino acid can be used in solid-phase peptide synthesis. We confirmed that incorporation of this building block into the sequence of a peptide increases its cellular uptake substantially.

<p>Solid phase peptide synthesis using the Fmoc/<em>t</em>-Bu strategy (SPPS-Fmoc/tBu) is the most widely used methodology for obtaining synthetic peptides. In this paper, we evaluate the viability of using 4-methylpiperidine as a reagent for deprotection of the amino acid alpha amino group in SPPS-Fmoc/tBu. For this purpose, the peptide (RRWQWRMKKLG) was simultaneously synthesized using 4-methylpiperidine or piperidine for Fmoc removal reagent. The obtained products had similar purities and yields. Finally, 21 peptides were synthesized using 4-methylpiperidine. Our results suggest that is possible to obtain synthetic peptides efficiently by the strategy SPPS-Fmoc/tBu when 4-methylpiperidine was used as reagent to remove Fmoc groups N-alpha protected amino acids.</p>

The octapeptide CF3C02-. + H2-Glu-Ser-Leu-Ser-Ser-Ser-Glu-Glu-OH (1) was synthesized by the Boc-mode of solid-phase peptide synthesis and hydrogenolytic cleavage of the assembled peptide from the resin support. The 13C n.m.r. spectrum of the octapeptide is presented along with its structural analysis by fast-atom bombardment (f.a.b.) mass spectrometry.

Unified schedule for multiple parallel solid-phase synthesis of so-called “difficult” peptides on polypropylene pins was developed. Increase in the efficiency of 9-fluorenyl(methoxycarbonyl) N-terminal amino-protecting group removal was shown to have a greater influence on the accuracy of the “difficult” peptide synthesis than the use of more efficient amino acid coupling reagents such as aminium salts. Hence the unified schedule for multiple parallel solid-phase synthesis of “difficult” peptides included the procedure for N-terminal amino group deprotection modified by applying a more efficient reagent for the deprotection and the standard procedure of amino acid coupling by carbodiimide method with an additional coupling using aminium salts, if necessary. Amino acid coupling with the help of carbodiimide allows to follow the completeness of the coupling via the bromophenol blue indication, thus providing the accuracy of the synthesis and preventing an overexpenditure of expensive reagents. About 100 biotinylated hepatitis C virus envelope protein fragments, most of which represented “difficult” peptides, were successfully obtained by synthesis on pins with the help of the developed unified schedule.

Abstract Dehydroalanine is introduced as pseudoprotecting group for the to-amide function of Asn and Gin in solid-phase peptide synthesis. Using Boc-X(Dha-NHMe)-OH (X = Asp or Glu), the model peptides, L-Leu-L-Asn-Gly-NH2 and L-Leu-Lr-Gln-Gly-NH2, were synthesized
