Application of an automated synthesis suite to parallel solution-phase peptide synthesis

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2001 Sep;49(9):1147-54. doi: 10.1248/cpb.49.1147.

Abstract

An in-house developed automated synthesis suite was used to prepare a library of 72 tetrapeptide derivatives, the starting materials for pharmaceutically attractive pentapeptides, employing a convergent strategy. An initial set of 18 dipeptides were synthesized on a large-scale (100-1000 g) using automated synthesis workstations, and then 72 tetrapeptides were synthesized on a medium scale (5-10 g) using an automated system. Each di- or tetrapeptide was prepared in a single operating cycle using a modified methanesulfonic acid method, then a sub-library of 56 pentapeptides were synthesized in parallel, on a small-scale (100 mg-1 g) using a robotic workstation.
