Macrocyclisation is a method to stabilize the conformation of peptides, resulting in improved stability, selectivity, affinity, and cell permeability. This work presents a new approach to peptide macrocyclisation using a cyanobenzothiazole-containing amino acid. This method can be applied to peptide discovery by mRNA display and is compatible with further peptide elaboration.
Macrocyclisation provides a means of stabilising the conformation of peptides, often resulting in improved stability, selectivity, affinity, and cell permeability. In this work, a new approach to peptide macrocyclisation is reported, using a cyanobenzothiazole-containing amino acid that can be incorporated into peptides by both in vitro translation and solid phase peptide synthesis, meaning it should be applicable to peptide discovery by mRNA display. This cyclisation proceeds rapidly, with minimal by-products, is selective over other amino acids including non N-terminal cysteines, and is compatible with further peptide elaboration exploiting such an additional cysteine in bicyclisation and derivatisation reactions. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the new cyclisation group is likely to influence the peptide conformation as compared to previous thioether-based approaches, through rigidity and intramolecular aromatic interactions, illustrating their complementarity.
