Table 1. Room temperature- vs MW-assisted synthetic approachSPPS strategy Purity of crude peptide (%)% Yield of pure >95%peptide (mg)Room temperature 35 4.4 (18 mg)MW-assisted 77 6.3 (27 mg)In conclusion, microwave technology has improved SPPS of particularly difficultsequences as <strong>com</strong>pared with the conventional room temperature method. This improvementis attributed to prevention of peptide backbone aggregation and acceleration of deprotectionand coupling steps.In general, MW-assisted SPPS is proposed as a reliable strategy to over<strong>com</strong>e somelimitations encountered in conventional SPPS. In our case, although the application ofmicrowaves in SPPS led only to moderate improvement in final yield it allowed us toobtain a crude PTHrP(1-34)NH 2 of higher quality and enabled the development of a fastmicro-cleavages as an alternative method for monitoring SPPS.Therefore, based on our experience, the advantages of MW-assisted SPPS vsRT-SPPS can be summarized as follow: 1) shortening reaction time, 2) shorteningmicro-cleavage time, 3) crude peptides of higher quality facilitating the subsequentpurification steps.AcknowledgmentsEnte Cassa Risparmio di Firenze and ANR Chaire d’Excellence 2009-2013 PepKit (France) aregratefully acknowledged.References1.
