Synthesis by Microwave-assisted Orthogonal
Microwave heating is conducive to the synthesis of peptide nucleic acids and provides a fully automated and efficient synthesis strategy for PNA-peptide conjugates. Creative Peptides has been producing high quality custom PNAs, including PNA-peptide conjugates. Through the strategy of microwave heating orthogonal to chemical methods, we provide our customers with high purity, high quality synthetic products that meet each customer's expectations in a time frame.
Microwave-assisted Orthogonal
Solid-phase synthetic chemical methods are generally time-consuming and non-automated, so have certain limitations on the wider application of PNA in chemistry and biology. However, as a non-traditional energy method, microwave can increase the reaction rate by hundreds or even thousands of times, and has the advantages of convenient operation, few by-products, high yield and easy separation and purification, and it tends to meet the environmental friendliness of "green synthesis" needs. Microwave heating facilitates peptide nucleic acid synthesis offering a fully automated and efficient synthetic strategy to PNA–peptide conjugates.

Synthesis Procedure
PNA–peptide synthesis was carried out in an automated CEM peptide synthesizer.
- Dde-deprotection was carried out under either acidic (20% NH2OH·HCl/imidazole 1:0.75 in NMP/DMF 5:1) or more traditional basic conditions (20% NH2OH·H2O/imidazole 1:0.75 in NMP/DMF 5:1) under microwave irradiation.
- PNA monomer coupling was mediated using pre-activated monomers (0.22 M Dde-monomer, 5.5 equiv) in DMF, mixed with 0.20 M PyBOP (5 equiv) also in DMF and with NEM (11 equiv) for 1 min and microwave irradiation for 20 min at 60 oC.
- The PNA–peptide conjugate was synthesized using the slightly acidic conditions for Dde removal (20% NH2OH·HCl/imidazole 1:0.75 in NMP/DMF 5:1), and Fmoc-deprotection and amino acid couplings were carried out according to standard literature procedures.
- Following Fmoc-synthesis, the peptide was capped with acetic anhydride/pyridine (1:1) for 20 min, before the PNA was capped with 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein.
- The peptide–PNA conjugates were cleaved from the solid support with TIS/TFA19 and purified by RP-HPLC.
