Özet

Synthesis of peptide indole derivatives

Zeynep Gönül, Şenay Akkar, Hasan Küçükbay

 

Peptides are protein fragments that perform biological functions in living things. Among peptides, short peptides are important structures that have found different applications in biology, chemistry and medicine.[1]

Synthetic and natural peptides are recognized for their wide array of therapeutic properties.[2] Because of their highly selective and relatively safe nature, peptides are of interest in pharmaceutical research and development. Peptide-active drug conjugates have an important place in peptide chemistry. Indeed, more than 100 peptide-based drug candidates are currently in clinical trials.[3]

Indoles, which are important members of heterocyclic compounds in terms of medicinal chemistry, have important physiological properties. Serotonin, the happiness hormone, and tryptophan, an essential amino acid, are compounds containing an indole skeleton.

 Many anticancer compounds such as sumatripan, melatonin, osimertinib and tegaserod approved by the FDA also contain indole in their structure.[4]

In this study, examples for the synthesis of benzotriazole mediated peptide-indole conjugates will be given to combine two important biological structures in a single molecule.

The general structures of the new compounds are shown below.
