Peptidesomes are nanoparticles that are built by a two-step self-assembly of globular peptide dendrimers with lysine endgroups (red spheres in picture) and poly(L-leucine) carrying one glutamic acid residue (blue lines with red dot). These viral-capsid-mimicking nanoarchitectures exhibit high gene transfection efficacy and thus are promising nonviral vectors for biomedical applications. Copyright
A scalable synthesis of L-leucine-N-carboxyanhydride

Due to its relevance in the synthesis of well-defined oligopeptides, the L-leucine-N-carboxyanhydride (leucine-NCA) synthesis was selected for fine chemical scale-up with a scope on application on larger scales. The heterogeneous gas-solid-liquid nature of the leucine-NCA synthesis implied a mass transfer limited reaction rate towards phosgenation and was investigated on bench scale. Upon scale increase, the liquid-gas mass transport of HCl is drastically reduced, retarding the reaction and consequently rendering the process unsuitable for scale-up. Addition of an HCl scavenger such as (+)-limonene prevented side reactions thus allowing a cost reduction, a considerably faster reaction, and minimization of the amount of phosgene source used. The modified leucine-NCA synthesis has successfully been made scalable, maintaining high product purity on a 1.0 dm3 scale.

A simple phosgene- and halogen-free method for synthesizing α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) is described. The reaction between Boc-protected α-amino acids and T3P reagent gave the corresponding NCA derivatives in good yield and purity with no detectable epimerization. The process is safe, is easy-to-operate, and does not require any specific installation. It generates nontoxic, easy to remove byproducts. It can apply to the preparation of NCAs for the on-demand on-site production of either little or large quantities.
