Functional precision polymers based on monodisperse oligo(N-substituted acrylamide)s and oligo(2-substituted-α-hydroxy acid)s have been synthesized. The discrete sequences originate from a direct translation of side-chain functionality sequences of a peptide with well-studied properties. The peptide was previously selected to solubilize the photosensitizer meta-tetra(hydroxyphenyl)chlorin. The resulting peptidomimetic formulation additives preserve the drug solubilization and release characteristics of the parent peptide. In some cases, superior properties are obtained, reaching up to 40 % higher payloads and 27-times faster initial drug release.

A mild method for effectively removing the fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group using sodium azide was developed. Without base, sodium azide completely deprotected Nα-Fmoc-amino acids in hours. The solvent-dependent conditions were carefully studied and then optimized by screening different sodium azide amounts and reaction temperatures. A variety of Fmoc-protected amino acids containing residues masked with different protecting groups were efficiently and selectively deprotected by the optimized reaction. Finally, a biologically significant hexapeptide, angiotensin IV, was successfully synthesized by solid phase peptide synthesis using the developed sodium azide method for all Fmoc removals. The base-free condition provides a complement method for Fmoc deprotection in peptide chemistry and modern organic synthesis. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
Protection of carboxamide functions by the trityl residue. Application to peptide synthesis
Sieber,Riniker
, p. 739 - 742 (2007/10/02)
Carboxamide functions may be tritylated by an acid-catalyzed reaction with triphenylmethanol and acetic anhydride in glacial acetic acid. The ω-trityl group of asparagine and glutamine is cleavable by TFA, but stable to strong mineral acids in aqueous solution, as well as to nucleophiles and bases. In peptide syntheses, it is ideally suited for combination with side-chain protections of the t.butyl-type.
