Several factors have influenced the increasing presence of peptides as an important class of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients. One is the continued development of synthetic methodologies for peptide synthesis. Herein, we investigated the Fmoc removal step, using the tea-bag strategy. In this regard, three different secondary amines: piperidine, 4-methylpiperidine, and piperazine, were evaluated. As a result of this study, 4-methyl piperidine showed to be an excellent alternative to the usually used piperidine in terms of purity and compliance with green chemistry principles as well.

A home-built apparatus to perform solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), assisted by microwave irradiation and heating, is presented. In contrast to conventional SPPS reaction vessels, which drain solvent and byproducts via a frit located at the bottom of the vessel, the presented apparatus employs a gas dispersion tube under vacuum to remove solvent, byproducts, and excess reagents. The same gas dispersion tube supplies nitrogen gas agitation of the SPPS beads during the reaction steps of coupling and deprotection.

The pool of free, genetically encoded AA in plasma plays an essential role not only as substrate for every protein synthesized in the body but also as signaling molecules that regulate a wide range of physiological processes. Here we present a method for the analysis of 19 of the 20 encoded AA (except Cys) in dairy cow plasma. Isolated plasma or standards for the 19 AA were gravimetrically mixed with an internal standard mix consisting of C isotopes of each AA.

In this study, we introduce -substituted iminothiolane (NIT) as a robust protecting group for lysine side chains. NIT is compatible with Fmoc-SPPS and can be efficiently removed under mild nucleophilic conditions. Notably, NIT offers enhanced hydrophilicity compared to traditional orthogonal lysine-protecting groups and does not undergo intramolecular migration.

While it is well understood that peptides can greatly improve cell-material interactions, it is often challenging to determine the concentration of the peptide which decorates a material. Herein, we describe a straightforward method using readily, synthetically accessible Fmoc peptides and commercially available reagents to measure the concentration of peptides on nanoparticles, surfaces, and hydrogels. To achieve this, the Fmoc protecting group from immobilized peptides is removed under optimized basic conditions.

The widely used Fmoc/-Bu solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is hampered by relying on corrosive, per/polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) classified trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as a universal protecting group (PG) removal/resin cleavage reagent. We report that suitable combinations of Brønsted acids (BAs) and Lewis acids (LAs) such as HCl/FeCl and AcOH/FeCl constitute viable alternatives for TFA as PFAS-free cleavage agents. Using water miscible dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and acetonitrile (MeCN) as solvents enabled diluting cleavage mixtures with suitable aqueous solutions, allowing for direct use in purification in which removal of >99.
