Efficient Sequential Segment Coupling Using N-Alkylcysteine-Assisted Thioesterification for Glycopeptide Dendrimer Synthesis
摘要:
A highly pure MUC1-derived glycopeptide dendrimer of 22 kDa was prepared by a sequential segment coupling, achieved by an N-alkylcysteine (NAC)-assisted thioesterification. The glycopeptide having C-terminal NAC was prepared by the Fmoc method and converted to the thioester 3-mercaptopgropionic acid treatment. The thioester was condensed with a lysine trimer carrying NAC to afford tetramer, which was then converted to the thioester. Two tetramers were condensed with ethylenediamine to give the octameric glycopeptide dendrimer.

Aryl thioesters of peptide segments were prepared by the conventional 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) strategy using a novel N-alkyl cysteine (NAC)-assisted thioesterification reaction. The peptide carrying NAC at its C-terminus was prepared by the Fmoc strategy and converted to the aryl thioester by 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid (MPAA) treatment without significant side reactions. The peptide thioester was used for the efficient preparation of 95-amino acid (AA) chemokine CCL27 by an Ag+-free thioester method.
Going native: A mercaptomethylgroup on the side‐chain hydroxy group of serine and threonine residues facilitates a native chemical ligation reaction at the Xaa‐Ser/Thr site (see scheme; R=H or Me). The intermediate thioester is treated to achieve an S‐ to N‐acyl shift. After ligation, the group is spontaneously removed to obtain the glycopeptide contulakin‐G and human calcitonin.
天然化:丝氨酸和苏氨酸残基的侧链羟基上的巯基甲基有助于Xaa-Ser / Thr位点的天然化学连接反应(请参阅方案; R = H或Me)。中间体硫酯经过处理,可实现S到N酰基的转变。连接后,自发去除该基团以获得糖肽contulakin-G和人降钙素。
