General description

High purity Fmoc-protected amino acid for research and process production of peptides, with very low levels of dipeptide, free-amino acids and acetic acid impurities.
The use of this N-in-Boc protected derivative overcomes most of the problems associated with the preparation of Trp containing-peptides by Fmoc SPPS [1]. Cleavage with TFA generates an N-in-carboxy indole which protects the Trp from alkylation [1,2,3] and sulfonation [1,4,5,6,7]. The N-in-carboxy group is removed under aqueous conditions during normal work-up of the peptide.

Application


  • Highly active antibacterial ferrocenoylated or ruthenocenoylated Arg-Trp peptides can be discovered by an L-to-D substitution scan: Utilizes Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH in the synthesis of peptides designed to enhance antibacterial activity, demonstrating its role in the development of new antimicrobial agents (Albada et al., 2014).

  • Nanoparticles generated from a tryptophan derivative: physical characterization and anti-cancer drug delivery: Explores the use of Fmoc-Trp(Boc)-OH in nanoparticle formation for targeted drug delivery systems, particularly in cancer therapy (Dube et al., 2017).
