Protected Maleimide Building Blocks for the Decoration of Peptides, Peptoids, and Peptide Nucleic Acids
摘要:
Monomers allowing for the introduction of [2,5-dimethylfuran]-protected maleimides into polyamides such as peptides, peptide nucleic acids, and peptoids were prepared, as well as the corresponding oligomers. Suitable maleimide deprotection conditions were established in each case. The stability of the adducts generated by Michael-type maleimide-thiol reaction and Diels-Alder cycloaddition to maleimide deprotection conditions was exploited to prepare a variety of conjugates from peptide and PNA scaffolds incorporating one free and one protected maleimide. The target molecules were synthesized by using two subsequent maleimide-involving click reactions separated by a maleimide deprotection step. Carrying out maleimide deprotection and conjugation simultaneously gave better results than performing the two reactions subsequently.

The reaction between maleimides and resin-linked diene–polyamides allows the latter to be used in the preparation of conjugates. Conjugation takes place by reacting the insoluble, hydrophobic diene component either with water-soluble dienophiles or with dienophiles requiring mixtures of water and organic solvents. Experimental conditions can be adjusted to furnish the target conjugate in good yield
