Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The sequence-dependent, acid- or base-catalysed aspartimide formation is one of the most serious side reactions in solid-phase synthesis of peptides containing aspartic acid. In the present work, we investigated the susceptibility of 4-(N-[1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohexylidene)-3-methylbutyl]amino)benzyl (Dmab), an aspartic acid beta-carboxy side-chain protecting group, for aspartimide formation. As a model, 15-amino acid-residue galanin fragment analogue containing the Asp-Ala motif was used during Fmoc-based solid-phase synthesis. Our study showed a strong tendency of Dmab-protected peptide to form aspartimide with unusual high efficiency. Furthermore, to investigate the susceptibility of Asp-Ala motif for aspartimide formation during the synthesis using Asp(ODmab), a 5-amino acid-residue galanin fragment LGPDA, different types of resin linkers, variety of Fmoc-deprotection conditions and coupling methods were applied.
