3-(4-Methoxy-benzylsulfanyl)-3-methyl-butyric acid


Synonym:

S-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-deamino-penicillamine



C13H18O3S Mr:  254.35 [268219-99-4]
Longterm storage temperature: +5 ± 3 °C C13H18O3S

S-protected derivative for the introduction of a deamino-penicillamine residue. Building block for the preparation of oxytocin and vasopressin antagonists. Peptide thioesters for chemical ligation may be obtained by Fmoc-SPPS using a deaminopenicillamine-derived linker, as premature cleavage during Fmoc removal is inhibited by steric hindrance. Tegge et al. developed a deaminopenicillamine-based disulfide linker for the Fmoc-SPPS of cyclic Cys-containing peptides.

Family Description:
Corresponds to β,β-dimethylcysteine or β-mercaptovaline. For an S-protected derivative of deamino-penicillamine please see Q-1610.
The rigidity of disulfide bridges can be increased by replacing Cys by Pen. Pen analogs of enkephalins, RGD-peptides, urotensin and further active peptides with improved potency and/or selectivity have been described.
