Abstrakt: The solution-based gram-scale synthesis of complex and highly potent proprotein convertase subtilisin-like/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor 1 is presented. Construction of Northern fragment 2 , followed by stepwise installation of Eastern 3 , Southern 4 , and Western 5 fragments, provided macrocyclic precursor 19 . This intermediate was cross-linked via an intramolecular azide-alkyne click reaction, which preceded macrolactamization to afford the core framework of compound 1 . Finally, coupling with poly(ethylene glycol) side-chain-based 6 gave the PCSK9 inhibitor 1 .
