Abstract
Naturally occurring cyclic lipopeptides exhibit a diverse range of biological activities and possess several favourable properties. Chemically synthesising and modifying these natural compounds can alter their biological and physical properties. Cyclic lipopeptides are often difficult to synthesise, especially when the lipid moiety is directly attached to the cyclic scaffold. The construction of a series of cyclic lipopeptide analogues of the antifungal peptide iturin A is reported herein. The synthesis of the parent peptide macrocycle was achieved using native chemical ligation (NCL), whereupon the regenerated free thiol was used to attach a lipid moiety using Cysteine Lipidation on a Peptide or Amino acid (CLipPA) technology.

Abstract
Aiming at elevating the environmental profile of the solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) methodology by improving the quality of crude peptides that SPPS provides we assessed a series of benzylthiols (BTs) as scavengers for global deprotection/TFA cleavage of exenatide peptide resin accessed by Fmoc SPPS. In these studies we identified 1,4-BDMT as a scavenger that affords the peptide in higher quality than the standard aliphatic thiol reagents, not least in terms of the content of critical peptide impurities in the crude material. Further, 1,4-BDMT exhibited favorable UV detectability as well as stability and solubility in TFA. Finally, based on the MS assessment of the crude exenatide products herein we propose that thiol scavengers in the cleavage of Trp containing peptide resins do not minimize the content of Trp oxidants by means of inhibiting Trp oxidation but rather by forming a peptide–thiol adduct via a mechanism involving an attack of a thiol on an oxindolylalanine (Oia) impurity present in the crude material. 1,4-BDMT is a benign, non-odorous scavenger for peptide resin cleavages which provides crude peptides in higher quality than the aliphatic thiols used for this purpose.![]()

Abstract
The regulation of tyrosinase activity and reactive oxygen species is of great importance for the prevention of dermatological disorders in the fields of medicine and cosmetics. Herein, we report a strategy based on solid-phase peptide chemistry for the synthesis of β-lactoglobulin peptide fragment/caffeic acid (CA) conjugates (CA-Peps) with dual activities of tyrosinase inhibition and antioxidation. The purity of the prepared conjugates, CA-MHIR, CA-HIRL, and CA-HIR, significantly increased to 99%, as acetonide-protected CA was employed in solid-phase coupling reactions on Rink amide resins. The tyrosinase inhibitory activities of all CA-Pep derivatives were higher than the activity of kojic acid, and CA-MHIR exhibited the highest tyrosinase inhibition activity (IC50 = 47.9 μM). Moreover, CA-Pep derivatives displayed significantly enhanced antioxidant activities in the peroxidation of linoleic acid as compared to the pristine peptide fragments. All CA-Pep derivatives showed no cytotoxicity against B16-F1 melanoma cells.

Abstract
The chemical synthesis of analogue of a novel γ-secretase activating protein, which may play a pivotal role in the formation of amyloid peptides, the precursor to Alzheimer's disease, is described. The linear polypeptide sequence, consisting of 121 amino acids was assembled from four unprotected peptide building blocks using a convergent ligation-based synthesis. A strategic mutation of three glutamine residues to cysteine enabled the ligations, and the cysteines were subsequently converted to pseudoglutamines, to mimic the native glutamine. The full length unfolded protein was obtained in milligram amounts and was demonstrated to be homogeneous by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry.
