Peptide synthesis is an area with a wide field of application, from biomedicine to nanotechnology, that offers the option of simultaneously synthesizing a large number of sequences for the purpose of preliminary screening, which is a powerful tool. Nevertheless, standard protocols generate large volumes of solvent waste. Here, we present a protocol for the multiple Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis in tea bags, where reagent recycling steps are included. Fifty-two peptides with wide amino acid composition and seven to twenty amino acid residues in length were synthesized in less than three weeks. A clustering analysis was performed, grouping the peptides by physicochemical features. Although a relationship between the overall yield and the physicochemical features of the sequences was not established, the process showed good performance despite sequence diversity. The recycling system allowed to reduce N, N-dimethylformamide usage by 25–30% and reduce the deprotection reagent usage by 50%. This protocol has been optimized for the simultaneous synthesis of a large number of peptide sequences. Additionally, a reagent recycling system was included in the procedure, which turns the process into a framework of circular economy, without affecting the quality of the products obtained.

We describe a method to protect the sensitive stereochemistry of the thioamide—in analogy to the protection of the functional groups of amino acid side chains—in order to preserve the thioamide moiety during peptide elongation.<br>

Based on the structure of Dawson’s 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (Dbz) linker designed for Fmoc solid-phase peptide-thioester synthesis, the 4-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid [Dbz(NO2)] linker was developed for microwave-assisted synthesis. The Dbz(NO2) linker can be readily converted into the Dbz linker by on-resin reduction with SnCl2 after construction of the protected peptide resin. Although epimerization of C-terminal amino acid restricts the use of Dbz(NO2) linker to the synthesis of peptide-Gly-thioester, use of this linker can prevent side reactions that arise when Dbz or Dbz(Aloc) linkers are used in the microwave-assisted synthesis of Gly-rich peptides.
