A rapid and efficient microwave-assisted solid-phase synthesis method for the preparation of a nonapeptide using conventional Fmoc/Bu(t) orthogonal protection strategy is described. In this protocol, the coupling steps are performed within 5 min at 60 degrees C and the Fmoc-deprotection steps are completed within 3 min at 60 degrees C using a dedicated single-mode microwave peptide synthesizer utilizing temperature-controlled conditions. It is demonstrated that the model nonapeptide (containing the calmodulin-binding octapeptide sequence) is synthesized in a shorter time (approximately 3.5 h) and with high purity (>95%) under microwave irradiation conditions in comparison with a reference peptide that is obtained by standard methods at room temperature (within 11 h).  相似文献

A rapid and efficient microwave-assisted solid-phase synthesis method is described for the preparation of the nonapeptide WDTVRISFK, using conventional Fmoc/Bu(t) orthogonal protection strategy. The synthesis protocol is based on the use of cycles of pulsed microwave irradiation with intermittent cooling of the reaction during the removal of the Fmoc protecting group and during the coupling. The desired nonapeptide was obtained in highest yield and purity by employing MicroKan technology. The chemical reactions were carried out in a single-mode microwave reactor, equipped with a fiber-optic probe to monitor the reaction temperature continuously.  相似文献

The increasing demand for short- and medium-sized peptides in many fields of biological, medical and pharmaceutical research requires optimized and universally applicable high-throughput synthesis and purification techniques at the low-micromol scale. Here, we describe a continuous peptide synthesis/purification approach using the 96-well format. First, a micromol scale peptide synthesis on resin beads was optimized on a novel miniaturized 96-reaction vessel block employing standard Fmoc/tBu-chemistry. Almost 90% of the synthesized peptides contained the target sequence as the main component, as judged from matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectra. Impurities were mostly related to partially protected peptides. Second, we tested the applicability of ion pair reversed-phase solid-phase extraction (IP-RP-SPE) to purify individual peptides. Depending on the length and predicted hydrophobicity of the peptides, elution was performed with 25 or 35% aqueous acetonitrile in the presence of 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Thus, scavengers used during TFA cleavage and partially protected peptides carrying very hydrophobic protecting groups were effectively removed. Using a narrow step gradient, the target peptides were even separated from deleted sequences and protected peptides with similar hydrophobicities. Third, we combined the micromol-scale synthesis in the 96-well format with purification by IP-RP-SPE on a 96-well micro-extraction plate format. This simple, fast and parallel approach was tested on 12-mer and 15-mer peptides to map epitopes of T- and B-cell clones, respectively. Approximately 80% of all peptides were obtained at purities > 90% without purification by RP-HPLC. In summary, this novel approach has several advantages: (i) the micromol-scale reduced the cost of peptide synthesis, (ii) large numbers of peptides were purified faster, (iii) the volumes of eluents and waste were significantly reduced, and (iv) the RP-HPLC column was not contaminated with hydrophobic impurities.  相似文献

A method is described for selecting monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against DNA-binding protein. The protocol involves a non-radioactive solid-phase DNA binding assay using a 96-well plate. Because the solid-phase assay is highly specific and sensitive, partially purified antigen is sufficient for the immunization, and mAb screening can be performed with crude cell extract as the antigen. MAbs obtained by this method could supershift the DNA-protein complex in the electromobility shift assay, and were sufficient for immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library.  相似文献

A reliable method for solid-phase synthesis of peptide aldehydes by using a new oxazolidine linker is described. Based on a comparative study using the usual cleavage protocol as is used for the Fmoc-based peptide synthesis, we found that this new linker is more appropriate for the synthesis of peptide aldehydes compared with the precedent acetal, semicarbazone or threonine linker. Whereas N-Acylated oxazolidines might be partially deprotected to non-N-acylated intermediates in the TFA cocktail containing several soft nucleophiles which cause significant side reactions, the new oxazolidine linker could produce the desired peptide aldehydes by simple Et2O washing and subsequent aqueous workup in high chemical yields and purity. We demonstrate the new method is useful especially for the preparation of highly functionalized long-chain peptide aldehydes which require several scavenger chemicals in the final deprotection step. This paper is dedicated to the memory of the late Prof. R. Bruce Merrifield, who passed away May 14, 2006.  相似文献

High-speed combinatorial synthesis utilizing microwave irradiation   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Recent advances in microwave-assisted combinatorial chemistry include high-speed solid-phase and polymer-supported organic synthesis, rapid parallel synthesis of compound libraries, and library generation by automated sequential microwave irradiation. In addition, new instrumentation for high-throughput microwave-assisted synthesis continues to be developed at a steady pace. The impressive speed combined with the unmatched control over reaction parameters justifies the growing interest in this application of microwave heating.  相似文献

Head-to-tail cyclization of 12-membered tetrapeptides has been reported to be synthetically challenging due to their highly strained ring systems. Previously, we reported the total synthesis of the marine antimicrobial cyclic tetrapeptide cyclo(GSPE) using the glutamic acid side-chain Wang resin tethering strategy with a 5 % yield under microwave irradiation (Lim et al., Int J Pept Res Ther 16:145–152, 2010). Besides the low yield, this strategy was also constrained to glutamic acid-containing peptides. In this communication, we report the outcomes of two alternate strategies to synthesize cyclo(GSPE): (A) solution-phase cyclization and (B) solid-phase synthesis using the sulfamylbutyryl safety-catch resin. Experimental results using all four possible linear precursors revealed that the former strategy failed to produce the target cyclic peptide while the latter approach afforded an improved overall yield of 8–9 % using the linear precursor H-Ser(tBu)-Pro-Glu(OtBu)-Gly-resin. Interestingly, we discovered that the placement of proline at the N- or C-termini of the linear peptide precursors failed to produce the target cyclic peptide. We also concluded that strategy B could provide the versatility needed to make a cyclic tetrapeptide library for bioactivity screening.  相似文献

We have developed a 96-well format for DNA template isolation that can be readily automatable. The template isolation protocol involves simple alkaline lysis chemistry and reversible capture on a silica solid phase. After the cells are lysed, no centrifugation is necessary, as lysate purification, DNA binding, washing, and release occur in 96-well filter plates. Large numbers of templates prepared using the silica purification method have been sequenced and analyzed. The quality of sequence resulting from our method has been compared with that generated from several commercial plasmid preparation protocols. We found sequence quality of the silica bead preparations to be equivalent to or, in some cases, better than those prepared by other methods. This method offers many advantages over other protocols we have used. First, the silica purifications have allowed us to more than double overall laboratory throughput while decreasing our template isolation materials cost at least five-fold. Second, because we have eliminated all centrifugation steps in the protocol, automation has been much simpler. The protocol has also been adapted to purify PCR products for use as templates in subsequent sequencing reactions.  相似文献

Three extraction procedures were developed for the quantitative determination of a carboxylic acid containing analyte (I) in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with negative ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (MS–MS). The first procedure was based on the manual liquid–liquid extraction (LLE) of the acidified plasma samples with methyl tert.-butyl ether. The second procedure was based on the automation of the manual LLE procedure using 96-well collection plates and a robotic liquid handling system. The third approach was based on automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) using 96-well SPE plates and a robotic liquid handling system. A lower limit of quantitation of 50 pg/ml was achieved using all three extraction procedures. The total time required to prepare calibration curve standards, aliquot the standards and plasma samples, and process a total of 96 standards and samples by manual LLE was three-times longer than the time required for 96-well SPE or 96-well LLE (4 h, 50 min vs. 1 h, 43 min). Even more importantly, the time the bioanalyst physically spent on the 96-well LLE or 96-well SPE procedure was only a small fraction of the time spent on the manual LLE procedure (<10 min vs. 4 h, 10 min). It should be noted that the 96-well SPE procedure incorporated the two steps of evaporation of the eluates to dryness and subsequent reconstitution of the dried extract. The total time required for the 96-well SPE could be reduced by 50% if the eluates were injected directly, eliminating the drying and reconstitution steps, which is achievable when sensitivity is less of an issue.  相似文献

Taking into account that microwave technology applied to SPPS is proposed as a valid support to the enhancement of efficiency of coupling reactions in short times, we compared the efficacy of a new automatic monomode microwave instrument versus a traditional automatic peptide synthesizer in the synthesis of different difficult peptide sequences. We verified that microwave-assisted solid phase synthesis is convenient, in terms of yield, purity, and time consumed to prepare two peptides which were previously shown to be difficult to obtain by conventional strategy, i.e., the antibiotic Gramicidin A and a glycopeptide.  相似文献

A solid-phase radioimmunoassay utilizing iodinated peptide-specific monoclonal antibody as a detection system instead of labeled peptide has been developed. Regional specific monoclonal antibodies to either gastrin-releasing peptide or gastrin were used as models to validate the general application of our modified assay. Conditions for radioactive labeling of the monoclonal antibody were determined to minimize oxidant damage, which compromises the sensitivity of other reported peptide quantitation assays. Pretreatment of 96-well polyvinyl chloride test plates with a 5% glutaraldehyde solution resulted in consistent retention of sufficient target peptide on the solid-phase matrix to allow precise quantitation. This quantitative method is completed within 1 h of peptide solid phasing. Pretreatment of assay plates with glutaraldehyde increased binding of target peptide and maximized antibody binding by optimizing antigen presentation. The hypothesis that glutaraldehyde affects both peptide binding to the plate and orientation of the peptide was confirmed by analysis of several peptide analogs. These studies indicate that peptide binding was mediated through a free amino group leaving the carboxy-terminal portion of the target peptide accessible for antibody binding. It was observed that the length of the peptide also affects the amount of monoclonal antibody that will bind. Under the optimal conditions, results from quantitation of gastrin-releasing peptide in relevant samples agree well with those from previously reported techniques. Thus, we report here a modified microplate assay which may be generally applied for the rapid and sensitive quantitation of peptide hormones.  相似文献

A very simple and cheap linker has been used for solid-phase synthesis of peptide aldehydes. Protected amino acid aldehydes are immobilized on 2-Cl(trt) resin as oxazolidine formation via diethanolamine. After classical Fmoc SPPS, treatment of the resin with AcOH/DCM/H(2)O (8:1:1) affords peptide aldehydes in high yield and purity.  相似文献

The 2-(4-nitrophenylsulfonyl)ethoxycarbonyl (Nsc) group is a new base-labile protecting group for solid-phase peptide synthesis, completely interchangeable with the fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) protecting group, but with certain advantages. In this paper, we report a methodology with Nalpha-Nsc-protected amino acids for the synthesis of some melanotropins important to our research, namely, gamma-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (gamma-MSH), its [Nle3]-analogue, and a cyclic alpha-MSH/beta-MSH hybrid. We developed an efficient protocol for the synthesis of the cyclic MSH analogue that yielded this peptide in >98% purity. The gamma-MSH synthesis, which gave problems with both the Boc and Fmoc strategies, yielded the desired peptide by Nsc-chemistry but was accompanied by side products. Finally, the Nle3-gamma-MSH analogue was synthesized more efficiently using the Fmoc strategy, suggesting that Nsc-chemistry might not be the best methodology for certain sequences.  相似文献

Here we present a comprehensive study of microwave heating in manual solid-phase peptide synthesis. Three different solid supports and three different handles (linkers) were evaluated for the synthesis of one short and two medium length peptides, including a phosphopeptide. Microwave heating to 60°C was applied to different kinds of amide bond formation, reductive amination, removal of the Fmoc protecting group, and to the acidolytic release of peptides from different handles. Using microwave heating, reaction times were significantly reduced, while maintaining the high purity of the crude products. However, control experiments showed that reaction times as short as 3–4 min at rt, at least for some applications, are sufficient for acylations (couplings). While microwave heating can be used in all steps in solid-phase peptide synthesis, particularly relatively slow steps benefit from this method.

The established protocol for DNase I footprinting has been modified to allow multiple parallel reactions to be rapidly performed in 96-well microtitre plates. By scrutinizing every aspect of the traditional method and making appropriate modifications it has been possible to considerably reduce the time, risk of sample loss and complexity of footprinting, whilst dramatically increasing the yield of data (30-fold). A semi-automated analysis system has also been developed to present footprinting data as an estimate of the binding affinity of each tested compound to any base pair in the assessed DNA sequence, giving an intuitive 'one compound-one line' scheme. Here, we demonstrate the screening capabilities of the 96-well assay and the subsequent data analysis using a series of six pyrrolobenzodiazepine-polypyrrole compounds and human Topoisomerase II alpha promoter DNA. The dramatic increase in throughput, quantified data and decreased handling time allow, for the first time, DNase I footprinting to be used as a screening tool to assess DNA-binding agents.  相似文献

Summary With the current interest in anti-sense and anti-gene technologies, an efficient, fast and less toxic synthesis protocol would be advantageous for the oligomerisation of Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNA). Most of the methods currently in use for thet-Boc synthesis of PNA's use TFA/m-cresol, pyridine, piperidine and capping reagents. In this work, a rapid synthesis protocol has been adapted from an earlier published peptide synthesis method allowing a reduction in cycle time from around 30 min down to 16 min. By utilising quantitative deprotection with 100% TFA, a coupling time of 10 min and a four-fold excess of monomer, this synthesis protocol has been used to synthesise a number of PNA's incorporating all four nucleotides of varying sequence, up to 17 residues in length.  相似文献

We present here a protocol for the synthesis of the dihydropyrimidine (DHPM) derivative monastrol, which is known to be a specific mitotic kinesin Eg5 inhibitor. By applying controlled microwave heating under sealed-vessel conditions, the synthesis via the one-pot three-component Biginelli condensation can be performed in a shorter reaction time (30 min) compared with conventional heating methods that normally require several hours of reflux heating. For the purification of the crude target compound, two different methods are presented. The first protocol includes a simple precipitation/filtration step to provide monastrol in 76% isolated yield and high purity so that no recrystallization step is necessary. This can be ascribed to the microwave heating technology in which less side-product formation is typically one of the advantages. In an alternative purification step, column chromatography is performed, which provides the product in a slightly higher yield (86%). Monastrol synthesis can be conducted in approximately 2 h by employing the precipitation/filtration purification method.  相似文献

Affinity purification of fibrinogen using a ligand from a peptide library.   总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6  
An affinity resin containing the peptide ligand Phe-Leu-Leu-Val-Pro-Leu (FLLVPL) has been developed for the purification of fibrinogen. The ligand was identified by screening a solid-phase combinatorial peptide library using an immunostaining technique. The specific binding of fibrinogen to the ligand has been characterized by isothermal calorimetry and adsorption isotherms and is dominated by both hydrophobic interactions and ionic interactions with the N-terminal free amino group. The effective association constant of fibrinogen was substantially higher when the peptide was immobilized on the resin than in solution; moreover, it increased with increasing peptide density, suggesting a cooperative binding effect. A low ionic strength buffer at pH 4 was used successfully to elute adsorbed fibrinogen from the column with high purity, retention of factor XIII crosslinking activity, and minimal, if any, loss of biological function. This general approach to ligand selection and characterization can be used to develop peptide ligands for the affinity purification of diverse proteins on a large scale.  相似文献

A novel parallel radio-frequency (RF) tag distributor has been developed which allows for distribution of RF tags into Irori microkans in 96-well format. The distributor has a holding capacity of approximately 1000 RF tags and distributes RF tags in groups of 12. Using the distributor, a block of 96 microkans can be filled with RF tags in less than 30 sec resulting in significant time savings over one-at-a-time manual RF tag distribution. The distributor may also be of utility as a solid-phase synthesis tool for dispensing resin enclosed in capsules (which have the same shape as RF tags).
