Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focused on nicotinic acid derivative (Npys-OMe derivative), the innovative and efficient reagents for disulfide bond formation were developed. In model study using the oxidation of reduced-form peptides, it was found that the Npys-OMe derivative and its resin efficiently function as a mild oxidizing agent. And it was succeeded in providing a unique disulfide bond formation method using this compound. Therefore, it is thought that these results can contribute the synthesis of bioactive disulfide peptides and the development of functional molecules in fields of drug discovery and peptide chemistry.
