Synthesis of Polypeptides by Ring-opening Polymerization: A Concise Review
: The most economical and efficient route to prepare polypeptides from synthetic chemistry is through the Ring-Opening Polymerization (ROP) of amino acids using N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) monomers. Peptide polymers, in contrast to proteins, consist of repeated amino acid units and are comparatively simpler macromolecules. Despite their simplicity, these polypeptides offer a unique combination of beneficial traits found in both synthetic polymers (such as solubility, processability, and rubber elasticity) and natural proteins (including secondary structure, functionality, and biocompatibility). Nevertheless, NCA polymerization faces significant challenges, including intricate monomer purification and the necessity for processing toxic solvents. In this context, this review presents the fundamental principles of this polymer chemistry, the synthesis of NCA monomers, and the different methodologies to access polypeptides by ROP. It also explores the most recent advances in this field of research, with a focus on how new methods enable the use of more reactive initiators and the development of original processes, including the use of aqueous solvents.
期刊介绍:
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by chosen experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The Journal also accepts high quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
