Solid-phase synthesis of homodetic cyclic peptides from Fmoc-MeDbz-resin

Abstract:

Cyclic homodetic peptides are very appealing for medicinal chemistry programs. In addition to the high efficiency and selectivity inherently associated with peptides, a cyclic structure totally formed by amide bonds increases their stability under physiological conditions. Here Fmoc-MeDbz-resin was studied for the preparation of these peptides. Our results demonstrate the usefulness of this strategy for the preparation of cyclic “head-to-side chain” peptides through cyclative cleavage (simultaneous cyclization and release from the resin). In contrast, for the synthesis of the “head-to-tail” counterparts, the cyclization-cleavage should be carried out in the presence of thiophenol.
