Biocompatible synthesis of macrocyclic thiazole peptides from chiral α-amino nitriles

Abstract

Macrocyclic peptides containing a thiazole heterocycle exhibit fascinating properties in natural products and future therapeutics. We report a biocompatible macrocyclisation approach facilitated by an N-terminal cysteine and C-terminal nitriles. The use of various chiral α-amino nitriles enables the incorporation of diverse hydrophobic side chains adjacent to the thiazole motif.
