A solid-phase S-alkylation procedure to introduce chemical modification on the cysteine sulfhydryl group of a peptidyl resin is reported. The reaction is promoted by activated molecular sieves and consists of a solid-solid process, since both the catalyst and the substrate are in a solid state. The procedure was revealed to be efficient and versatile, particularly when used in combination with the solution S-alkylation approach, allowing for the introduction of different molecular diversities on the same peptide molecule.

Oncolytic peptides represented potential novel candidates for anticancer treatments especially drug-resistant cancer cell lines. One of the most promising and extensively studied is LTX-315, which is considered as the first in class oncolytic peptide and has entered phase I/II clinical trials. Nevertheless, the shortcomings including poor proteolytic stability, moderate anticancer durability and high synthesis costs may hinder the widespread clinical applications of LTX-315.

The solid-phase synthesis of Met-containing peptides using a fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)/-butyl (Bu) protection scheme is inevitably accompanied by two stubborn side reactions, namely, oxidation and -alkylation (-butylation), which result in the formation of Met(O) and sulfonium salt impurities of the target peptide, respectively. These two reactions are acid-catalyzed, and they occur during the final trifluoroacetic (TFA)-based acidolytic cleavage step. Herein, we developed two new cleavage solutions that eradicate the oxidation and reduce -alkylation.

Nucleophilic ring opening of cyclic sulfamidates derived from amino acids is a common strategy for the synthesis of lanthionine derivatives. In this work, we report the regio-, chemo-, and stereoselective intramolecular S-alkylation of a cysteine residue with -sulfonyl sulfamidates for the synthesis of cyclic lanthionine-containing peptides. The strategy involves the solid-phase synthesis of sulfamidate-containing peptides followed by late-stage intramolecular cyclization.

Cyclic peptides are becoming increasingly important in drug discovery due to their specific binding properties, larger surface area compared to small molecules, and their ready and modular synthetic accessibility. In this protocol, we describe an on-resin, cleavage-inducing cyclization methodology for the synthesis of cyclic thiodepsipeptides and cyclic homodetic peptides using the 3-amino-4-(methylamino)benzoic acid (MeDbz) linker. We further describe three post-cyclization one-pot procedures, which include desulfurization, disulfide bond formation, and S-alkylation of cysteine residues.

The conventional S-alkylation of cysteine relies upon using activated electrophiles. Here we demonstrate high-yielding and selective S-alkylation and S-lipidation of cysteines in unprotected synthetic peptides and proteins by using weak electrophiles and a Zn promoter. Linear or branched iodoalkanes can S-alkylate cysteine in an unprotected 38-residue Myc peptide fragment and in a 91-residue miniprotein Omomyc, thus highlighting selective late-stage synthetic modifications.
