    This study introduces a rapid, continuous-flow system for solid-phase peptide synthesis. The novel method achieves high purity and yield, optimizing peptide assembly using specific polystyrene supports and coupling conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Organic Chemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is crucial for creating peptides.
    • Conventional SPPS can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
    • Optimizing SPPS protocols is essential for efficiency and yield.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a continuous-flow system for SPPS.
    • To optimize coupling conditions and support materials for enhanced peptide synthesis.
    • To compare the efficiency of continuous-flow SPPS with traditional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized liquid chromatographic equipment for continuous-flow SPPS.
    • Employed conventional polystyrene supports, specifically microporous copoly(styrene-1% divinylbenzene).

  • Investigated the influence of coupling time, number of couplings, support porosity, and amine protecting groups (tert-butoxycarbonyl vs. 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) on product yield.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved 99.3% purity for a model tetrapeptide (Leu-Ala-Gly-Val) in approximately 4 hours.
    • Optimized conditions involved using microporous polystyrene and two 30-minute couplings of tert-butoxycarbonyl-protected amino acids per cycle.
    • A 17-residue peptide from chicken ovalbumin was synthesized with comparable purity and yield to discontinuous methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The continuous-flow system offers a rapid and efficient approach to SPPS.
    • Microporous polystyrene supports and optimized coupling strategies significantly improve peptide synthesis outcomes.
    • This method demonstrates scalability and effectiveness for synthesizing complex peptides.
