Developed as novel protecting groups for solid-phase peptide synthesis, aryl boronate ester based amino acid building blocks exhibit many advantages over Alloc/Allyl groups and other traditional protecting groups due to their environmental-friendly deprotection conditions and high deprotection efficiency. These protecting groups have been found to exhibit all of the chemical properties compatible to the standard Fmoc(9-Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl) solid-phase peptide synthesis and to be orthogonal to other protection groups, such as tBu (tert-butyl), pbf (2,2,4,6,7-penta-methyldihydroben zofuran-5-sulfonyl), Trt (trityl) and Boc (t-Butyloxy carbonyl). In this paper, the aryl bronate ester protected Asp was employed to synthesize a lactam-bridged bicyclic peptide, BI-32169 ([Gly-Leu-Pro-Trp-Gly-Cys-Pro-Ser-Asp]-Ile-Pro-Gly-Trp-Asn-Thr-Pro-Trp-Ala-Cys), which is a human glucagon receptor peptide inhibitor, via on-resin cyclization and solution phase oxidative folding. First of all, the Fmoc-Asp(pDobb)-OH (pDobb, dihydroxyborylbenzyl pinacol ester) was successfully synthesized via esterification between Fmoc-Asp-OtBu and 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl) followed by deprotection of tBu with trifluoroacetic acid. Subsequently, the fully protected linear peptide was obtained by incorporating Fmoc-Asp(pDobb)-OH into peptide backbone through standard SPPS using HCTU/DIPEA as the coupling reagent and base. The following release of pDobb group on Asp side chain and deprotection of the N-terminal Fmoc group on solid support provided the linear peptide containing a free Asp residue and an N-terminal amino group. The critical cyclization step was accomplished on resin using PyAOP/HOAt/NMM, followed by resin cleavage and global deprotection with TFA/Phenol/Water/TIPS to give the monocyclic peptide. Finally, the intramolecular disulfide bond was formed through oxidative folding in an aqueous environment with 10% DMSO to provide the final bicyclic target, BI-32169, with a total yield about 27%. In summary, the human glucagon receptor peptide inhibitor BI-32169 was successfully synthesized utilizing an aryl boronate ester based amino acid building block via an on-resin cyclization and solution phase oxidative folding strategy. This convenient and efficient synthetic route could provide a way for chemical total synthesis of BI-32169 and other analogues.
