A Synthetic Method for Site-Specific Functionalized Polypeptides: Metal-Free, Highly Active, and Selective at Room Temperature

Wei Zhao et al.

Summary: Functionalized polypeptides have gained significant interest in various fields due to their tunable physicochemical characteristics, and developing strategies to produce them without metallic contaminants is crucial for applications in high-value and sensitive domains. A highly efficient strategy combining Michael reaction with hydrogen-bonding organocatalytic ROP has been developed to access site-specific functionalized polypeptides with predesigned molecular weights and low polydispersities. This metal-free synthetic process offers high activity and selectivity at room temperature for preparing a library of chain-end and chain-middle functionalized polypeptides.

Cyclic Poly(α-peptoid)s by Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS)-Mediated Ring-Expansion Polymerization: Simple Access to Bioactive Backbones

Pedro Salas-Ambrosio et al.

Summary: This study presents a simple method for the synthesis of cyclic poly(alpha-peptoids) using LiHMDS promoted ring-expansion polymerization (REP) from N-alkylated-N-carboxyanhydrides (NNCA). The new method allows the use of lysine-like monomers in REP to design bioactive macrocycles with potential pharmaceutical applications against Clostridioides difficile. This novel approach offers a more efficient and straightforward route compared to traditional methods.

Poly(α-L-lysine)-based nanomaterials for versatile biomedical applications: Current advances and perspectives

Maochao Zheng et al.

Summary: Poly(alpha-L-lysine) (PLL) is a water-soluble, cationic biopolymer composed of alpha-L-lysine structural units. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in the synthesis and biomedical applications of PLL, including antibacterial agents, gene/drug/protein delivery systems, bio-sensing, bio-imaging, and tissue engineering. Despite the promising potential of PLL-based nanomaterials in biomedical fields, challenges and perspectives still need to be addressed.
