Reduction of methionine sulfoxide with : Compatibility with peptides containing cysteine and aromatic amino acids
摘要:
The reduction of methionine sulfoxide with ammonium iodide in trifluoroacetic acid has been studied in peptides containing cysteine, histidine, tyrosine or tryptophan residues. While histidine and tyrosine have proved to be stable under the experimental conditions, cysteine is oxidized to cystine and tryptophan dimerizes to form 2-indolylindolenine derivatives. The use of methyl sulfide to increase the reduction rate minimizes the problem and protection of indole ring with the formyl group avoids the side reaction for this amino acid.

studied in some disulfide containing peptides. In general, this reagent has proved to be effective in neat TFA at 0°C, with the obtention of the unprotected peptides in more than 99% yields and without reduction of the disulfide bridge bond. The use of Me2S as an additive resulted in faster reactions and disulfide scrambling was not observed. Whereas the Acm group proved to be stable to the reaction
