Background
- Bicyclic peptides (BPs) are crucial in drug discovery due to their enhanced stability and potency.
- Existing methods for BP synthesis often involve multiple steps and limited structural diversity.
- The SeODR strategy offers a promising approach for peptide modification and cyclization.
Purpose Of The Study
- To adapt and apply the SeODR strategy for the synthesis of diverse bicyclic peptides (BPs).
- To develop novel monosaccharide-based cross-linkers for creating bicyclic glycopeptide conjugates (BGPs).
- To synthesize a complex tricycle glycopeptide conjugate (TGP) demonstrating the versatility of the combined strategies.
Main Methods
- Utilized the SeODR (selenium-driven oxidative deprotection and rearrangement) strategy for BP synthesis.
- Prepared novel monosaccharide-based cross-linkers via click chemistry conjugation of m-xylyl with glucose, mannose, and galactose.
- Employed a one-pot reaction approach for the synthesis of BPs, BGPs, and the TGP.
Main Results
- Successfully synthesized 15 bicyclic peptides (BPs) with varying thioether linkages in good yields.
- Demonstrated the compatibility of multiple cross-linkers (xylyl, BBP, BBMP, DCA, DCTZ) with the SeODR approach.
- Achieved the first synthesis of seven bicyclic glycopeptide conjugates (BGPs) and one tricycle glycopeptide conjugate (TGP) using the SeODR strategy and novel cross-linkers.
Conclusions
- The SeODR strategy is highly effective for the one-pot synthesis of structurally diverse bicyclic peptides.
- The developed monosaccharide-based cross-linkers are compatible with the SeODR approach, enabling BGP synthesis.
- The combined strategies provide a convenient and versatile platform for constructing complex, glycosylated cyclic peptides.

Sulfides are the sulfur analog of ethers, just as thiols are the sulfur analog of alcohol. Like ethers, sulfides also consist of two hydrocarbon groups bonded to the central sulfur atom. Depending upon the type of groups present, sulfides can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical sulfides can be prepared via an SN2 reaction between 2 equivalents of an alkyl halide and one equivalent of sodium sulfide.
Asymmetrical sulfides can be synthesized by treating thiols with an alkyl halide and a...
Diels–Alder reactions between cyclic dienes locked in an s-cis configuration and dienophiles yield bridged bicyclic products.
Dienophiles with one or more electron-withdrawing substituents form stereochemically different products in which the substituents are oriented in an endo (towards) or exo (away) configuration relative to the double bond.
The endo isomer is formed faster and is the kinetic product. The exo isomer is more stable and is the thermodynamic...
Thiols are prepared using the hydrosulfide anion as a nucleophile in a nucleophilic substitution reaction with alkyl halides. For instance, bromobutane reacts with sodium hydrosulfide to give butanethiol.
This reaction fails because the thiol product can undergo a second nucleophilic substitution reaction in the presence of an excess alkyl halide to generate a sulfide as a by-product.
This limitation can be overcome by using thiourea as the nucleophile. The reaction first produces an alkyl...
In the presence of organic peroxides, the addition of hydrogen bromide to an alkene yields the isomer that is not predicted by Markovnikov’s rule. For example, the addition of hydrogen bromide to 2-methylpropene in the presence of peroxides gives 1-bromo-2-methylpropane. This addition reaction proceeds via a free radical mechanism, which reverses the regioselectivity. The free radical reaction mechanism involves three stages: initiation, propagation, and termination.
In the first...
Introduction
Alkylation of terminal alkynes with primary alkyl halides in the presence of a strong base like sodium amide is one of the common methods for the synthesis of longer carbon-chain alkynes. For example, treatment of 1-propyne with sodium amide followed by reaction with ethyl bromide yields 2-pentyne.
The reaction takes place in two steps:
1. The first step is the deprotonation of the terminal alkyne by the strong base forming an acetylide ion.
2. The second step is a nucleophilic...
If a set of reactants can yield multiple constitutional isomers, but one of the isomers is obtained as the major product, the reaction is said to be regioselective. In such reactions, bond formation or breaking is favored at one reaction site over others.
The hydrohalogenation of an unsymmetrical alkene can yield two haloalkane products, depending on which vinylic carbon takes up the halogen. However, one product usually predominates, where hydrogen adds to the vinylic carbon bearing the...
