Popis: Aza-peptides are promising drug leads, however extensive study of their properties is hampered by low yielding aza-peptide bond formation during conventional Fmoc SPPS. The kinetics of aza-peptide bond formation in the model peptide H-Ala-AzAla-Phe-NH 2 was compared with various conventional amino acid activators. The reaction rates and yields were dependent on the activator structure. The reaction time of aza-peptide formation using oxyma-based agents was approximately 30 times longer than in typical peptide synthesis. Therefore, new activators are required to increase the reactivity of the activated amino acid to achieve effective acylation of the semicarbazide moiety during aza-peptide bond formation.
