Cross-Linked Ethoxylate Acrylate Resin (CLEAR) supports were prepared by radical copolymerization, either in the bulk or suspension mode, of the branched cross-linker trimethylolpropane ethoxylate (14/3 EO/OH) triacrylate (1) with one or more of allylamine (2), 2-aminoethyl methacrylate‚HCl (3), poly(ethylene glycol-400) dimethacrylate (4), poly(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether methacrylate (5), and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (6). The resultant highly cross-linked copolymers by the bulk procedures were ground and sieved to particles, whereas the suspension polymerization procedure gave highly cross-linked spherical beaded supports. CLEAR polymeric supports showed excellent swelling properties in an unusually broad range of solvents, including water, alcohols, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, and N,N-dimethylformamide. To demonstrate their usefulness for peptide synthesis, CLEAR supports were derivatized with an "internal reference" amino acid [norleucine] and a handle [5-(4-Fmocaminomethyl-3,5-dimethoxyphenoxy)valeric acid] and were tested for both batchwise and continuous-flow solidphase syntheses of challenging peptides such as acyl carrier protein (65-74), retro-acyl carrier protein (74-65), and the 17-peptide human gastrin-I. Comparisons to commercially available supports, e.g., polystyrene, Pepsyn K, Polyhipe, PEG-PS, TentaGel, and PEGA were also carried out. CLEAR supports are entirely stable under standard conditions of peptide synthesis but are in some cases labile to certain strong bases.

mixture (2 × 3 mL each). A solution of Fmoc-Leu-OH (3 equiv), N,N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) (3 equiv), and Oxyma Pure (3 equiv) in the proper mixture, preactivated for 5 min, was charged onto the resin and stirred for 1 h. After the peptide coupling, the resin was washed with DMF, DCM and DMF or mixture, iPrOH, and mixture (2 × 3 mL each). Then, 20% piperidine in DMF or selected mixture was charged on the resin (2 × 3 mL × 15 min). The resin was washed and ready for the subsequent couplings, deprotections, and washings, as reported before, to obtain the pentapeptide. The peptide was cleaved from the resin with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/H 2 O/ triisopropylsilane (TIS) (95:2.5:2.5) solution for 2 h at room temperature. The crude was directly analyzed by HPLC-MS. Solid-Phase Synthesis of H-D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-ol (Linear Octreotide) in 70:30 Anisole/Dimethyl Carbonate (Method 8). The synthesis was performed in a glass syringe, attached at the bottom to a vacuum source to remove excess of reagents and solvents. The resin (H-Thr(tBu)-ol-2CT-PS 0.6 mmol/g, 500 mg) was washed with 3 mL of Mix C3, 3 mL of iPrOH, and 3 mL of Mix C3. A preactivated solution of Fmoc-Cys(Trt)-OH (3 equiv), DIC (3 equiv), and Oxyma Pure (3 equiv) in Mix C3 (3.3 mL) was charged onto the resin and stirred for 1 h. After the peptide coupling, the resin was washed with 3 mL of Mix C3, 3 mL of iPrOH, and 3 mL of Mix C3. Fmoc removal was performed by adding 2 × 3 mL of 20% piperidine in Mix C3 on the resin, shaking it for 10 min each. After the deprotection, the resin was washed with 4 × 3 mL of Mix C3. The resin was ready for the subsequent couplings, deprotections, and washings, as reported before, to obtain the decapeptide. The final washings were performed with Mix C3 (4 × 3 mL) and iPrOH (3 × 2 mL). The peptide was cleaved from the resin with TFA/TIS/1-dodecanthiol (9 mL/0.7 mL/0.6 mL) solution for 4 h at room temperature. The solution was recovered by filtration. Diisopropyl ether (37 mL) was added dropwise at 0−5°C to the acidic solution until precipitation of peptide was achieved. The resulting mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at 0−5°C. The precipitate was filtered, washed with diisopropyl ether and petroleum ether, and dried under vacuum, affording an off-white solid. The crude was analyzed by HPLC-MS. For the synthesis with method 1, as a substitution for Mix C3 and iPrOH, DMF and DCM were used. Cyclization of Linear Octreotide.

The preparation and application of a new linker for the synthesis of peptide amides using a modified Fmoc-method is described. The new anchor group was developed based on our experience with 4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydryl (Mbh)-protecting group for amides. Lability towards acid treatment was increased dramatically and results in an easy cleavage procedure for the preparation of peptide amides. The synthesis of N-9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl- ([5-carboxylatoethyl-2.4-dimethoxyphenyl)- 4'-methoxyphenyl]-methylamin is reported in detail. This linker was coupled to a commercially available aminomethyl polystyrene resin. Peptide synthesis proceeded smoothly using HOOBt esters of Fmoc-amino acids. Release of the peptide amide and final cleavage of the side chain protecting groups was accomplished by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid-dichloromethane mixtures in the presence of scavengers. The synthesis of peptide amides such as LHRH and C-terminal hexapeptide of secretin are given as exa...

A new strategy for the preparation of one-bead-one-peptide libraries compatible with solid-phase screening and subsequent detachment of the peptide from the resin for sequence determination by mass spectrometry is described. The method is based on the use of ChemMatrix, a novel, totally PEG-based resin, together with 4-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid linker. After peptide elongation, which was carried out using the Fmoc/t-Bu approach, the side-chain protecting groups were removed with TFA solution. The library was then screened, and peptides were detached from the positive beads with ammonia/THF vapor. Finally, the peptide sequences were determined by MS/MS.

This manuscript shows that ACN can be an excellent choice for the coupling of hindered amino acids as illustrated by the coupling of Fmoc-amino acids on free amino acids anchored on a BAL synthesis. Furthermore, ACN can be a good alternative for solid-phase peptide synthesis in the absence of DMF (washings, removal of Fmoc, and coupling).

The use of very highly substituted resins has been avoided for peptide synthesis due to the aggravation of chain-chain interactions within beads. To better evaluate this problem, a combined solvation-peptide synthesis approach was herein developed taking as models, several peptide-resins and with peptide contents values increasing up to near 85%. Influence of peptide sequence and loading to solvation characteristics of these compounds was observed. Moreover, chain-chain distance and chain concentration within the bead were also calculated in different loaded conditions. Of note, a severe shrinking of beads occurred during the a-amine deprotonation step only when in heavily loaded resins, thus suggesting the need for the modification of the solvent system at this step. Finally, the yields of different syntheses in low and heavily loaded conditions were comparable, thus indicating the feasibility of applying this latter ''prohibitive'' chemical synthesis protocol. We thought these results might be basically credited to the possibility, without the need of increasing molar excess of reactants, of carrying out the coupling reaction in higher concentration of reactants -near three to seven folds -favored by the use of smaller amount of resin.

The Fmoc/TAEA and Bsmoc/TAEA methods for the rapid, continuous solution synthesis of peptide segments are shown to be applicable to the gram-scale synthesis of short peptides as well as, for the first time, to the synthesis of a relatively long (22-mer) segment, (hPTH 13-34). In the latter case the crude product was of significantly greater purity than a sample obtained via a solid-phase protocol. The Bsmoc methodology was optimized by a new technique involving filtration of the growing partially deprotected peptide at each couplingdeprotection cycle through a short column of silica gel.

A new and cost-effective linker for the generation of carboxylic acid end groups on Multipin supports (SynPhase™ crowns) has been developed. Synthesis of the linker was based on modification of grafted polystyrene (PS) crowns to generate a hydroxyethyl moiety which is acid labile in 10 -20% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane (DCM). Solid-phase syntheses of model decapeptides using this linker are described.

The most popular way to synthesize peptides is via the solidphase approach, mostly on a research scale, although progress is being made in large-scale production. The most evident example is Fuzeon, a commercial anti-HIV peptide, which is produced in multi-kilograms using a solid support for the synthesis of the fragments. Success in solid-phase peptide synthesis is heavily determined by the solid support. In this review we focus on the evolution of the solid support from the totally polystyrene-based resin used by Merrifield to the most sophisticated ones currently available on the market. These new resins offer access to previously inaccessible compounds as well as the possibility to be used in diverse applications but without losing stability. Moreover, these new supports are easy to handle. The final chapter of the review highlights the complex sequences that are difficult to achieve and the reasons for this. It then concludes by explaining the approaches that have been followed to synthesize such "difficult" peptides.
