Synthesis
of peptide indole derivatives

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.
