Cyclotetrapeptides are constrained cyclic peptides whose synthesis is considered a difficult task. A methodology based on on-resin head-to-tail cyclization by anchoring the side chain of a trifunctional amino acid was investigated. A series of model cyclotetrapeptides containing the RGD sequence cyclo(Xaa-Arg-Gly-Asp) (Xaa = Ala, Phe, Phg, D-Ala, D-Phe, D-Phg) was synthesized with no cyclodimerization by-products. An evaluation and optimization study of all of the parameters directly involved in the ring closure was performed.

General Installation of (4)-Imidazolone -Amide Bioisosteres Along the Peptide Backbone.

Imidazolones represent an important class of heterocycles present in a wide range of pharmaceuticals, metabolites, and bioactive natural products and serve as the active chromophore in green fluorescent protein. Recently, imidazolones have received attention for their ability to act as a nonaromatic amide bond bioisotere which improves pharmacological properties. Herein, we present a tandem amidine installation and cyclization with an adjacent ester to yield (4)-imidazolone products.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) hold promise as novel therapeutics in the fight against multi-drug-resistant pathogens. Cathelicidin-PY (NH-RKCNFLCKLKEKLRTVITSHIDKVLRPQG-COOH) is a 29-residue disulfide-cyclised antimicrobial peptide secreted as an innate host defence mechanism by the frog (PY) and reported to possess broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal properties, exhibiting low cytotoxic and low hemolytic activity. Herein, we detail the total synthesis of cathelicidin-PY using an entirely on-resin synthesis, including assembly of the linear sequence by rapid flow Fmoc-SPPS and iodine-mediated disulfide bridge formation.

Here we report a method to synthesize C-terminally modified peptides on resin. A four-component Ugi reaction of isocyanide resin, an Fmoc-protected amino acid, an amine, and a 6-nitroveratrylaldehyde gives C-terminal photocaged peptide amides, which can be photolyzed to generate C-terminal peptide amides. Changing the amine component in the Ugi reaction gives peptides with different C-terminal modifications including substituted anilides, alkyne, and azide.

Lactamization is the key step in the synthesis of many compounds with macrocyclic structure. As the interest for these types of molecules grows in various fields such as drug discovery and nanomaterials, different methodologies to access them are being developed. Three different strategies to obtain cyclic peptides via lactamization are described in this chapter: solution-phase macrocyclization following solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of the linear precursor, SPPS and on-resin cyclization on the 2-chlorotrityl chloride (2-CTC) resin, and SPPS and on-resin cyclization by native chemical ligation on the amino-PEGA resin.
