Article: New findings from V. Martos and co-authors in the area of combinatorial chemistry published.

According to recent research from Tarragona, Spain, "A simple solid-phase synthesis of thioether-linked chiral bicyclic guanidinium oligomers for cell internalization purposes has been developed. The approach is based on a Merrifield-like peptide synthesis on Rinkamide-p-methylbenzhydrylamine resin functionalized with Cys(methoxytrityl)."

"A difunctionalized bicyclic guanidinium synthon, bearing both electrophile (O-mesyl) and protected nucleophile (S-methoxytrityl) group, is repeatedly grafted via a nucleophilic substitution. The sequence requires removal of methoxytrityl, reduction with 1,4-dithiothreitol to cleave any adventitious disulfides, coupling and ...
