Paragraph 0083, (2020/08/07)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide: a method for safely and efficiently producing amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride; and a method for producing peptide by using the obtained amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride. SOLUTION: The method for producing an amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride according to the present invention is characterized in that the amino acid-N-carboxylic acid anhydride is represented by the following formula (II), and a step of irradiating a composition containing a halogenated methane and an amino acid compound represented by the following formula (I) with high energy light in the presence of oxygen is included. [In the formula, R1 represents an amino acid side chain group in which the reactive group is protected, and R2 represents H or the like.]. SELECTED DRAWING: None COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPOandINPIT

Smart peptide hydrogels are of great interest for their great potential applications. Here, we report a facile approach to prepare a class of enzyme-responsive hydrogels in a scalable manner. These hydrogels self-assemble from a family of nonionic peptide amphiphiles (PAs) synthesized by sequential ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (BLG-NCA) and L-tyrosine N-carboxyanhydride (Tyr-NCA), followed by subsequent aminolysis. These PA samples can readily form a clear hydrogel with a critical gelation concentration as low as 0.5 wt%. The incorporation of tyrosine residues offers hydrophobicity, hydrogen-bonding interaction and enzyme-responsive properties. The hydrogel-to-nanogel transition is observed under physiological conditions in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The obtained PA hydrogels are ideal candidates for the new generation of smart scaffolds.

A designed orthogonal dual initiator is employed to construct poly(methyl methacrylate)-block-polytyrosine copolymer conjugates via the combination of atom-transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate, "click" chemistry and ring-opening polymerization of tyrosine-α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydride monomer. The polymer-polypeptide conjugate undergoes self-aggregation in dimethylformamide to produce hybrid micro/nanospheres owing to the formation of composite micelle as evidenced from field emission scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering study. A simple solution-based approach is described to encapsulate an organic dye (Rhodamine-6G) into the aggregated hybrid micro/nanospheres.
