Fast conventional Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis with HCTU

Fast conventional Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis with HCTU.

1H-Benzotriazolium 1-[bis(dimethyl-amino)methylene]-5-chloro-hexafluorophosphate (1-),3-oxide (HCTU) is a nontoxic, nonirritating and noncorrosive coupling reagent. Seven biologically active peptides (GHRP-6, (65-74)ACP, oxytocin, G-LHRH, C-peptide, hAmylin(1-37), and beta-amyloid(1-42)) were synthesized with reaction times reduced to deprotection times of 3 min or less and coupling times of 5 ...

Fast conventional Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis: a comparative study of different activators.

The ability to speed up conventional Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) has many advantages including increased productivity. One way to speed up conventional Fmoc SPPS is the choice of activator. Recently, several new activators have been introduced into the market, and they were evaluated along with some older activators for their ability to synthesize a range of peptides with shorter ...

Advances in Fmoc solid‐phase peptide synthesis

Today, Fmoc SPPS is the method of choice for peptide synthesis. Very-high-quality Fmoc building blocks are available at low cost because of the economies of scale arising from current multiton production of therapeutic peptides by Fmoc SPPS. Many modified derivatives are commercially available as Fmoc building blocks, making synthetic access to a broad range of peptide derivatives straightforwa...

Acid cleavage/deprotection in Fmoc/tBu solid-phase peptide synthesis.

In general, a solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) consists of the assembly of a protected peptide chain on a polymeric support (=synthetic step) and the subsequent cleavage/deprotection to release the crude, deprotected peptide from the solid support (=cleavage step). Usually, these two steps are followed by chromatographic purification of the crude peptide (see Chapters 1,2,4, and 5, PAP). Th...
