A highly efficient covalent immobilization procedure is considered as an essential tool for obtaining stable and reliable cyclodextrin (CD) chiral stationary phases (CSPs). This work reports the "thiolene" click immobilization of heptakis(6-mercapto-6-deoxy)-β-CD-CSP onto alkene functional silica to afford novel multiple-thioether bridged CD CSPs by controlling the surface CD concentration. Solid-state NMR, FTIR, TGA and X-ray photoelectron diffraction spectroscopy (XPS) results proved the successful preparation of the desired CSPs with different surface CD loadings. The surface CD concentrations were calculated to be 0.49 and 0.68 μmol m-2 according to the elemental analysis results. More than 60 chiral enantiomers including isoxazolines, chiral lactides, chiral ketones, dansyl amino acids, small molecule acids and alkalis as well as some flavonoids were resolved or partially separated in the reversed-phase HPLC mode. Compared with the previously prepared single thiolene bridged CD-CSP, the current multiple-thioether CD-CSP afforded much better enantioseparation ability due to the existence of the thiol moiety and a confined structure.

Class II lanthipeptide synthetases (LanM enzymes) catalyze the installation of multiple thioether bridges into genetically encoded peptides to produce macrocyclic lanthipeptides, a class of biologically active natural products. Collectively, LanM enzymes install thioether rings of different sizes, topologies, and stereochemistry into a vast array of different LanA precursor peptide sequences. The factors that govern the outcome of the LanM-catalyzed reaction cascade are not fully characterized but are thought to involve both intermolecular interactions and intramolecular conformational changes in the [LanM:LanA] Michaelis complex.

Lanthipeptides are members of the ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). They are generated in two biosynthetic steps: dehydration of Ser and Thr residues to the corresponding dehydroamino acids and subsequent conjugate addition by the thiol of Cys residues to generate the characteristic lanthionine and methyllanthionine thioether-bridged structures. Typically, a lanthipeptide contains multiple thioether cross-links.

The unique antibacterial properties and structural complexity of the lantibiotics has stimulated considerable interest in the development of methodology to synthesise these peptides. One of the most challenging issues has been the synthesis of polycyclic peptides with multiple thioether bridges between side-chains, which are a characteristic feature of the lantibiotics. In this perspective, the different approaches to this problem, including solution-phase synthesis, solid-phase synthesis, biomimetic approaches and biotransformation strategies, are reviewed, highlighting the advances resulting from each of these approaches.

[structure: see text] Lanthionine, a thioether analogue of cystine, is a key component of the lantibiotics, a family of modified peptides bearing multiple thioether bridges resulting from posttranslational modifications between side chains. It is also used as a conformational constraint in medicinally active peptides. We have explored two synthetic routes to give lanthionine, orthogonally protected with Alloc/allyl and Fmoc groups.
