Published: January 2018

A convenient and efficient chemical toolbox was developed for the on-resin C-terminal functionalization of various peptides. By transforming resin-bound 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid species with isoamyl nitrite, the resulting resin-bound benzotriazole entity can be efficiently displaced by nucleophiles during cleavage of the peptide-resin connection in a short reaction time. The resin cleavage step allowed for the use of various nucleophiles including water, EtOH, amines, thiol, and G5 poly(amidoamino) dendrimers with yields ranging from 66% to 82% within 5 h. This method was successfully applied to prepare the elastin sequence (VPGVG) through on-resin ligation in 77% yield in one day and a head-to-tail cyclic peptide, sunflower trypsin inhibitor-1, in 42% yield.

The benzimidazole moiety is a ubiquitous pharmacophore present in numerous anthelmintic, antibacterial, antiviral, antineoplastic, and antifungal drugs. While the polypharmacology of this heterocycle has spurred the development of numerous solution-phase syntheses, only a handful of disparate and inefficient methods detailing its synthesis on-resin have been reported. Here we report the concise and expedient syntheses of internal and C-terminal peptidic benzimidazoles - an emerging class of peptide deformylase (PDF)-inhibiting antimicrobials.

Fluorophore-labeled glycodendrimers have potential use in the study of carbohydrate-protein interactions by fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging methods. The current solution-phase methods for preparation of such glycoconjugates are labour intensive. On the other hand, the intrinsically more efficient solid-phase methods have been explored only at low generations.
