We investigated the ultrasonication-mediated effects on the Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Our study culminated with the development of an ultrasound-assisted strategy (US-SPPS) that allowed for the synthesis of different biologically active peptides (up to 44-mer), with a remarkable savings of material and reaction time. Noteworthy, ultrasonic irradiation did not exacerbate the main side reactions and improved the synthesis of peptides endowed with "difficult sequences", placing the US-SPPS among the current high-efficient peptide synthetic strategies.

Microwave-assisted solid-phase syntheses of six "difficult" peptides, H-VVSVV-NH2 (3), H-VVVSVV-NH2(4), H-VIVIG-OH (5), H-TVTVTV-NH2 (6), H-VKDGYI-NH2 (7), and H-VKDVYI-NH2 (8), were achieved utilizing N-(Fmoc-α-aminoacyl) benzotriazoles. Extension to the syntheses of Leu-enkephalin (9) and amyloid-β (34-42) (10) demonstrates that this strategy comprises an efficient route to new and known "difficult" peptides.
