The trityl group was recently introduced for the protection of the side chain carboxamide function of asparagine and glutamine. The 4-methyltrityl (Mtt) group, a structural modification of trityl, is presented here and allows more rapid cleavage from the protected peptides. Procedures for the introduction of the group and comparative cleavage reactions are also presented.

DNA-binding polyamides are synthetic oligomers of pyrrole/imidazole units with high specificity and affinity for double-stranded DNA. To increase their synthetic diversity, we report a mild methodology based on 4-methyltrityl (Mtt) solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), whose building blocks are more accessible than the standard Fmoc and Boc SPPS ones. We demonstrate the robustness of the approach by preparing and studying a hairpin with all precursors.

In this article, we have successfully designed and demonstrated a novel continuous process for assembling targeting ligands, peptidic spacers, fluorescent tags and a chelating core for the attachment of cytotoxic molecules, radiotracers, nanomaterials in a standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis in high yield and purity. The differentially protected Fmoc-Lys-(Tfa)-OH plays a vital role in attaching fluorescent tags while growing the peptide chain in an uninterrupted manner. The methodology is versatile for solid-phase resins that are sensitive to mild and strong acidic conditions when acid-sensitive side chain amino protecting groups such as Trt (chlorotrityl), Mtt (4-methyltrityl), Mmt (4-methoxytrityl) are employed to synthesise the ligand targeted fluorescent tagged bioconjugates.

Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) is a useful chelating agent for radionuclides such as (68)Ga, (99m)Tc and (111)In, which are applicable to nuclear medicine imaging. In this study, we established a facile synthetic protocol for the production of mono-DTPA-conjugated peptide probes. A novel monoreactive DTPA precursor reagent was synthesized in two steps using the chemistry of the o-nitrobenzenesulfonyl (Ns) protecting group, and under mild conditions this DTPA precursor was incorporated onto an N(ε)-bromoacetylated Lys of a protected peptide resin.

Fmoc chemistry on a backbone amide linker derivatized resin has been used for the chain assembly.
