Abstrakt: Peptide p-nitroanilides (peptide p>NAs) have found wide application as chromogenic substrates. An improved SPPS method to synthesize rapidly and in good yield a broad range of peptide pNAs under mild conditions will be presented here. To obtain a suitable carrier, the (4-aminophenyl)aminocarbonyloxy derivatives of Wang resin and Sasrin were synthesized. SPPS employing Fmoc/ tBu-based protection followed by acidolytic cleavage yielded the (protected) peptide p-aminoanilide which was oxidized with sodium perborate in acetic acid to yield the(protected) peptide pNA. Side-chain protectionproved to be advantageous. Acid-labile peptide pNAs such as the proteasome substrate Z-Glu(O tBu)-Ala-Leu- pNA thus can be obtaineddirectly. The behavior of Cys, Met, Tyr and Trp being susceptible towards oxidation was studied more closely. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
