- A facile surface modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) with amino acid conjugated self-assembled monolayers for enhanced osteoblast cell behavior
-
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a biocompatible synthetic polymer and used in various applications due to its low toxicity and tunable surface properties. However, PDMS does not have any chemical cues for cell binding. Plasma treatment, protein coating or

- The efficient preparation of di- and tripeptides by coupling N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles with unprotected amino acids
-
N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles 2 and N-protected peptidoylbenzotriazoles 6 are coupled in aqueous acetonitrile solution with free amino acids or dipeptides to prepare: (i) 22 chirally pure dipeptides 5a-v (in an average yield of 82%) from N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles 2 and unprotected amino acids, (ii) five chiral tripeptides 7a-e (in an average yield of 75%) from N-protected peptidoylbenzotriazoles 6 and unprotected amino acids, (iii) one chiral tripeptide 7g (62%) from N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α- aminoacyl)benzotriazole 2a and the free dipeptide 8. In all, N-(Cbz- or Fmoc-α-aminoacyl)benzotriazole derivatives of 17 of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids were used, including those containing the following unprotected side chain functionalities: alcoholic -OH (Ser), indole -NH (Trp), imidazole -NH, phenolic -OH (Tyr), -CONH2 (Gln, Asn), -SH (Cys), -CO2H (Glu, Asp), and -S-S (Cystine). Support for the complete retention of chirality was obtained by parallel experiments involving D-Ala, L-Ala, and DL-Ala for the preparation of di- and tripeptides. This and other evidence for chiral integrity was supported by NMR and HPLC analyses. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
