This work contributes to highlight the benefits of pseudoproline dipeptides introduction in difficult SPPS. We show how a slight modification in the positioning choice conditioned the synthesis achievement of a 54 amino acid long caveolin-1 peptide encompassing the intramembrane domain. Furthermore, we report a side reaction correlated with the coupling steps and generating truncated fragments with a mass deviation of + 42 Da. Considering the need of structural data for membrane proteins, most of which are considered as prevalent therapeutic targets, chemical synthesis provides an interesting alternative pathway to obtain hydrophobic domains by pushing back the frontiers of conventional RP methods of purification.

Article Synopsis
- Human β-defensin 3 (HBD-3) is a small peptide that has antimicrobial properties and helps regulate the immune system, interacting with various receptors in the body.* -
- The study focuses on improving the synthesis of HBD-3 through a refined solid-phase method and using specific techniques to reduce issues like chain aggregation.* -
- The researchers also explored an alternative method that substitutes a disulfide bond with a diselenide bond, enhancing the peptide's folding, which could lead to better understanding and applications of HBD-3 in medicine.*

The cyclic structure of proline (Pro) confers unique conformational properties on this natural amino acid that influences polypeptide structure and function. Pseudoprolines are a family of Pro isosteres that incorporate a heteroatom, most prominently oxygen or sulfur but also silicon and selenium, to replace the C or C carbon atom of the pyrrolidine ring. These readily synthetically accessible structural motifs can facilitate facile molecular editing in a fashion that allows modulation of the amide bond topology of dipeptide elements and influence over ring pucker.

The solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) of the C-terminal sequence of hGH with one extra Tyr attached to its N-terminus (total of 16 residues with a disulfide bridge) has been accomplished for the first time by optimizing several synthetic parameters. First of all, the two Ser residues (positions 9 and 13 of the molecule) have been introduced as a single amino acid, Fmoc-Ser(ψpro)-OH, demonstrating that the acylation of these hindered moieties is possible. This allows us to avoid the use of the corresponding dipeptides, Fmoc-AA-Ser(ψpro)-OH, which are very often not commercially available or very costly.

Protected 4-carboxyoxazolidines and thiazolidines (pseudoprolines) are derivatives of serine, threonine or cysteine amino acids. Such compounds are used in peptide synthesis among the other protected amino acids. They are usually practiced when a peptide sequence is readily aggregating during synthesis due to their ability to disrupt secondary structure formation.

Paenibacterin is a recently discovered cyclic lipodepsipeptide antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus. It is produced as a mixture of three compounds with isomeric 15-carbon acyl lipids, designated P-A1 (linear lipid), P-A2 (anteiso lipid), and P-A3 (iso lipid). Here, we report the total synthesis of P-A1 and P-A2, as well as two analogues of P-A1 in which the threonine residue in P-A1 was replaced with l-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (P-A1-Dapa) and (2 S,3 R)-2,3-diaminobutyric acid (P-A1-Daba), converting the ring-closing ester bond to an amide bond.
