Design and validation of a frugal, automated, solid-phase peptide synthesizer.

ABSTRACT: Solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) has enabled widespread use of synthetic peptides in applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to materials science. The demand for synthetic peptides has driven recent efforts to produce automated SPPS synthesizers which utilize fluid-handling components common to chemistry laboratories to drive costs down to several thousand dollars. Herein, we describe the design and validation of a more 'frugal' SPPS synthesizer that uses inexpensive, consumer-grade fluid-handling components to achieve a prototype price point between US$300 and $600. We demonstrated functionality by preparing and characterizing peptides with a variety of distinct properties including binding functionality, nanoscale self-assembly, and oxidation-induced fluorescence. This system yielded micromoles of peptide at a cost of approximately $1/residue, a cost which may be further reduced by optimization and bulk purchasing.

Automated glycan assembly using the Glyconeer 2.1 synthesizer.

Project description:Reliable and rapid access to defined biopolymers by automated DNA and peptide synthesis has fundamentally altered biological research and medical practice. Similarly, the procurement of defined glycans is key to establishing structure-activity relationships and thereby progress in the glycosciences. Here, we describe the rapid assembly of oligosaccharides using the commercially available Glyconeer 2.1 automated glycan synthesizer, monosaccharide building blocks, and a linker-functionalized polystyrene solid support. Purification and quality-control protocols for the oligosaccharide products have been standardized. Synthetic glycans prepared in this way are useful reagents as the basis for glycan arrays, diagnostics, and carbohydrate-based vaccines.

Solid-phase peptide synthesis and solid-phase fragment coupling mediated by isonitriles.

Project description:The synthesis of polypeptides on solid phase via mediation by isonitriles is described. The acyl donor is a thioacid, which presumably reacts with the isonitrile to generate a thio-formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride intermediate. Applications of this chemistry to reiterative solid-phase peptide synthesis as well as solid-phase fragment coupling are described.

Automated Quantum Dots Purification via Solid Phase Extraction.

Project description:The separation of colloidal nanocrystals from their original synthesis medium is an essential process step towards their application, however, the costs on a preparative scale are still a constraint. A new combination of approaches for the purification of hydrophobic Quantum Dots is presented, resulting in an efficient scalable process in regard to time and solvent consumption, using common laboratory equipment and low-cost materials. The procedure is based on a combination of solvent-induced adhesion and solid phase extraction. The platform allows the transition from manual handling towards automation, yielding an overall purification performance similar to one conventional batch precipitation/centrifugation step, which was investigated by thermogravimetry and gas chromatography. The distinct miscibility gaps between surfactants used as nanoparticle capping agents, original and extraction medium are clarified by their phase diagrams, which confirmed the outcome of the flow chemistry process. Furthermore, the solubility behavior of the Quantum Dots is put into context with the Hansen solubility parameters framework to reasonably decide upon appropriate solvent types.

Automated solid-phase radiofluorination using polymer-supported phosphazenes.

Project description:The polymer supported phosphazene bases PS-P₂(tBu) and the novel PS-P₂(PEG) allowed for efficient extraction of [¹⁸F]F⁻ from proton irradiated [¹⁸O]H₂O and subsequent radiofluorination of a broad range of substrates directly on the resin. The highest radiochemical yields were obtained with aliphatic sulfonates (69%) and bromides (42%); the total radiosynthesis time was 35-45 min. The multivariate analysis showed that the radiochemical yields and purities were controlled by the resin load, reaction temperature, and column packing effects. The resins could be reused several times with the same or different substrates. The fully automated on-column radiofluorination methodology was applied to the radiosynthesis of the important PET radiotracers [¹⁸F]FLT and [¹⁸F]FDG. The latter was produced with 40% yield on a 120 GBq scale and passed GMP-regulated quality control required for commercial production of [1¹⁸F]FDG. The combination of compact form factor, simplicity of [¹⁸F]F⁻ recovery and processing, and column reusability can make solid phase radiofluorination an attractive radiochemistry platform for the emerging dose-on-demand instruments for bedside production of PET radiotracers.

Automated solid-phase synthesis of metabolically stabilized triazolo-peptidomimetics.

Project description:The use of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles as trans-amide bond surrogates has become an important tool for the synthesis of metabolically stabilized peptidomimetics. These heterocyclic bioisosters are generally incorporated into the peptide backbone by applying a diazo-transfer reaction followed by CuAAC (click chemistry) with an α-amino alkyne. Even though the manual synthesis of backbone-modified triazolo-peptidomimetics has been reported by us and others, no procedure has yet been described for an automated synthesis using peptide synthesizers. In order to efficiently adapt these reactions to an automated setup, different conditions were explored, putting special emphasis on the required long-term stability of both the diazo-transfer reagent and the Cu(I) catalyst in solution. ISA·HCl is the reagent of choice to accomplish the diazo-transfer reaction; however, it was found instable in DMF, the most commonly used solvent for SPPS. Thus, an aqueous solution of ISA·HCl was used to prevent its degradation over time, and the composition in the final diazo-transfer reaction was adjusted to preserve suitable swelling conditions of the resins applied. The CuAAC reaction was performed without difficulties using [Cu (CH3 CN)4 ]PF6 as a catalyst and TBTA as a stabilizer to prevent oxidation to Cu(II). The optimized automated two-step procedure was applied to the synthesis of structurally diverse triazolo-peptidomimetics to demonstrate the versatility of the developed methodology. Under the optimized conditions, five triazolo-peptidomimetics (8-5 amino acid residues) were synthesized efficiently using two different resins. Analysis of the crude products by HPLC-MS revealed moderate to good purities of the desired triazolo-peptidomimetics (70-85%). The synthesis time ranged between 9 and 12.5 h.

Machine-Driven Enzymatic Oligosaccharide Synthesis by Using a?Peptide Synthesizer.

Project description:For decades, researchers have endeavored to develop a general automated system to synthesize oligosaccharides that is comparable to the preparation of oligonucleotides and oligopeptides by commercially available machines. Inspired by the success of automated oligosaccharide synthesis through chemical glycosylation, a fully automated system is reported for oligosaccharides synthesis through enzymatic glycosylation in aqueous solution. The designed system is based on the use of a thermosensitive polymer and a commercially available peptide synthesizer. This study represents a proof-of-concept demonstration that the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides can be achieved in an automated manner using a commercially available peptide synthesizer.

Total wash elimination for solid phase peptide synthesis.

Project description:We present a process for solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) that completely eliminates all solvent intensive washing steps during each amino acid addition cycle. A key breakthrough is the removal of a volatile Fmoc deprotection base through bulk evaporation at elevated temperature while preventing condensation on the vessel surfaces with a directed headspace gas flushing. This process was demonstrated at both research and production scales without any impact on product quality and when applied to a variety of challenging sequences (up to 89 amino acids in length). The overall result is an extremely fast, high purity, scalable process with a massive waste reduction (up to 95%) while only requiring 10-15% of the standard amount of base used. This transformation of SPPS represents a step-change in peptide manufacturing process efficiency, and should encourage expanded access to peptide-based therapeutics.

Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis on Chitosan Thin Films.

Project description:Stable chitosan thin films can be promising substrates for creating nanometric peptide-bound polyglucosamine layers. Those are of scientific interest since they can have certain structural similarities to bacterial peptidoglycans. Such films were deposited by spin coating from chitosan solutions and modified by acetylation and N-protected amino acids. The masses of deposited materials and their stability in aqueous solutions at different pH values and water interaction were determined with a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). The evolution of the surface composition was followed by X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. Morphological changes were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), while the surface wettability was monitored by by static water contact angle measurements. The combination of the characterization techniques enabled an insight into the surface chemistry for each treatment step and confirmed the acetylation and coupling of N-protected glycine peptides. The developed procedures are seen as first steps toward preparing thin layers of acetylated chitin, potentially imitating the nanometric peptide substituted glycan layers found in bacterial cell walls.

Cyanopivaloyl Ester in the Automated Solid-Phase Synthesis of Oligorhamnans.

Project description:The development of effective protecting group chemistry is an important driving force behind the progress in the synthesis of complex oligosaccharides. Automated solid-phase synthesis is an attractive technique for the rapid assembly of oligosaccharides, built up of repetitive elements. The fact that (harsh) reagents are used in excess in multiple reaction cycles makes this technique extra demanding on the protecting groups used. Here, the synthesis of a set of oligorhamnan fragments is reported using the cyanopivaloyl (PivCN) ester to ensure effective neighboring group participation during the glycosylation events. The PivCN group combines the favorable characteristics of the parent pivaloyl (Piv) ester, stability, minimal migratory aptitude, minimal orthoester formation, while it can be cleaved under mild conditions. We show that the remote CN group in the PivCN renders the PivCN carbonyl more electropositive and thus susceptible to nucleophilic cleavage. This feature is built upon in the automated solid-phase assembly of the oligorhamnan fragments. Where the use of a Piv-protected building block failed because of incomplete cleavage, PivCN-protected synthons performed well and allowed the generation of oligorhamnans, up to 16 monosaccharides in length.
