Solid-phase synthesis of 5-arylhistidine-containing peptides: from linear antimicrobial peptides ...

The incorporation of unsymmetrical biaryl systems into peptide sequences is a strategy that can improve their biological activity. Due to the difficulty of arylating the 4(5}-position of the imidazole ring, this doctoral thesis was focused on the development of efficient methodologies for the solid-phase synthesis of 5-arylhistidine-containing antimicrobial undecapeptides through a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction under microwave irradiation. The extension of this protocol allowed the preparation of b...
