A rapid and clean synthetic approach to cyclic peptides via micro-flow peptide chain elongation and photochemical cyclization: synthesis of a cyclic RGD peptide

Org Biomol Chem. 2016 Nov 29;14(47):11244-11249. doi: 10.1039/c6ob02391f.

Abstract

A cyclic RGD peptide was efficiently synthesized based on micro-flow, triphosgene-mediated peptide chain elongation and micro-flow photochemical macrolactamization. Our approach enabled a rapid (amidation for peptide chain elongation <5 s, macrolactamization <5 min) and clean (only one column chromatographic separation) synthesis of a cyclic peptide.
