Abstract: | An effective and simple strategy for preparing peptide crosslinkers is described. An MMP-13 degradable peptide QPQGLAK-NH(2) was prepared on the solid-phase using Fmoc chemistry. The peptide crosslinker was synthesized on-bead by the coupling reaction between acrylic acid and the amine groups of glutamine and lysine residues. The synthetic procedure employed the acid-labile Fmoc-Lys (Mtt)-OH and base-labile Fmoc-AA-OH derivatives. Selective deprotection, of -Mtt and -Fmoc groups on-bead, freed the amine end-groups on glutamine and lysine residues for coupling reaction with acrylic acid while maintaining the peptide attached to the resin. Subsequent cleavage from the resin yielded a peptide crosslinker with two unsaturated acrylate end-groups with high yield and purity. This method can be generally employed for the synthesis of a wide range of peptides with one or more reactive groups for grafting in the fabrication of biomimetic scaffolds in tissue engineering applications. |
