title: Click-Based Libraries of SFTI-1 Peptides: New Methods Using Reversed-Phase Silica.
abstract: Performing sequential reactions for the orthogonal derivatization of peptides in solution often requires intermediate handling and purification steps. To solve these problems, we have exploited the distinct adsorption kinetics of peptides toward particulate reversed-phase (RP) C18 silica material, enabling consecutive reactions to be performed without intermediate elution. To illustrate this approach, sequential CuAAC/click reactions were used to modify an analog of the bicyclic peptide sunflower trypsin inhibitor 1 (SFTI-1), a potent scaffold for trypsin and chymotrypsin-like enzyme inhibitors. The SFTI-1 scaffold was synthesized containing both β-azido alanine and propargyl glycine residues. Despite the mutual reactivity of these groups, site isolation on RP silica enabled consecutive click reactions and associated washing steps to be performed while the peptide remained immobilized. Importantly, this approach eliminated side products that could form between two peptides or within a single peptide. These studies suggest a broad utility for RP silica in solving both peptide handling problems and in improving synthetic workflows.
