An improved method of deprotection in solid phase peptide synthesis is disclosed. In particular the deprotecting composition is added in high concentration and small volume to the mixture of the coupling solution, the growing peptide chain, and any excess activated acid from the preceding coupling cycle, and without any draining step between the coupling step of the previous cycle and the addition of the deprotection composition for the successive cycle. Thereafter, the ambient pressure in the vessel is reduced with a vacuum pull to remove the deprotecting composition without any draining step and without otherwise adversely affecting the remaining materials in the vessel or causing problems in subsequent steps in the SPPS cycle.

This invention relates to peptide microarrays, methods of generating peptide microarrays, and methods of identifying peptide binders using microarrays. More specifically, this invention relates to peptide microarrays, methods of generating peptide microarrays, and methods of identifying peptide binders using microarrays wherein the microarrays comprise cyclic peptides. The invention also relates to methods and compositions for detecting the formation of cyclized peptides from linear peptides on a microarray by contacting the microarray with a detectable protein. The cyclized peptides include tags that are activated upon cyclization, facilitating the detection of successful cyclization reactions. In additional aspects, the invention relates to developing fragmented peptide tags that, upon cyclization, bind to detectable proteins. Additionally, the invention relates to methods of generating linear and cyclic peptides subarrays on a microarray.

Described herein is an operationally simple, one-pot solid-supported preparation of saturated stapled peptides. Following completion of ruthenium-catalysed metathesis, solid-phase transfer hydrogenation was achieved using triethylhydrosilane at elevated temperatures. The utility of the method has been demonstrated on 14- and 16-mer peptides to yield the corresponding cyclic a-helix stabilised stapled peptides.

The present invention relates to the field of medicinal synthesis, and discloses a method for synthesizing degarelix. The method of the present invention as a whole divides the synthesis of degarelix into two parts from amino acids at positions 5 and 6, employs proper protective groups in part of the protected amino acids therein, and finally uses in association with a specific acidolysis agent to complete the whole synthesis process. In the present invention, a proper synthesizing scheme is selected, and adaptive protective group and acidolysis agent are selected, so that the overall synthesis process is optimized, the purity of degarelix is significantly improved with a higer total yield, and the production of the toxic hydantoin degradation product is avoided.
