Hi1a is a naturally occurring bivalent spider-venom peptide that is being investigated as a promising molecule for limiting ischemic damage in strokes, myocardial infarction, and organ transplantation. However, the challenges associated with the synthesis and production of the peptide in large quantities have slowed the progress in this area; hence, access to synthetic Hi1a is an essential milestone for the development of Hi1a as a pharmacological tool and potential therapeutic.

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a glycoprotein that is responsible for orchestrating numerous critical immune induction and modulation processes and is used clinically for the treatment of a number of diseases. Herein, we describe the total chemical synthesis of homogeneously glycosylated variants of human IFN-γ using a tandem diselenide-selenoester ligation-deselenization strategy in the C- to N-terminal direction. The synthetic glycoproteins were successfully folded, and the structures and antiviral functions were assessed.
