    A versatile solid-phase synthesis strategy for preparing peptide–chelate conjugates was developed. The methodology was optimized using a series of ligands, designed to bind Tc(I)/Re(I), and a chemotactic peptide fMFL, which was exploited as a model targeting vector. The peptide derivatives were prepared in parallel using a conventional automated peptide synthesizer in multi-milligram quantities, which provided sufficient material to perform complete characterization, radiolabelling, and in vitro screening studies. Because of the robust nature of the metal–chelate complexes, the Re complex of a chelate–peptide conjugate was prepared on the resin using the same methodology employed to prepare the free ligand conjugates. As such, the reported methodology is amenable to the preparation of libraries of novel Tc radiopharmaceutical ligands and their corresponding Re reference standards in which several factors, including peptide sequence, site of derivatization, and both the type and length of the spacer, can be easily varied.Key words: radiopharmaceuticals, technetium, rhenium, peptides, solid-phase synthesis.

    An efficient three-step synthesis of chiral 3H-quinazoline-4-one derivatives from commercial materials is disclosed. The Mumm reaction of imidoyl chloride with α-amino acids followed by reductive cyclization affords enantiomerically pure (ee >93%) quinazoline-4-ones in good overall yield. A comparison with existing approaches indicates that this method is superior for hindered substrates.

    A concise synthesis of long-chain poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of defined molecular weight up to 29 ethyleneoxy units is described. These PEG diols were converted in a two-step synthesis into Fmoc-protected PEG amino acids, suitable as long linkers and compatible with solid-phase peptide synthesis. Long PEG chains (MW > 1000) can be readily synthesized with this method, which has the advantage of defined single molecular weight products over the comparable commercial polymers. The application of these PEG linkers to the synthesis of peptide-PEG-folate conjugates on a solid support was investigated. A method for the solid support synthesis of the targeting component of the conjugate, folic acid-cysteine, was developed, resulting in improved yields with respect to literature methods. The assembly of the peptide, PEG linker, and targeting group on solid support resulted in the synthesis of a conjugate of defined molecular weight and structure.

    Comparing a solution phase route to a solid phase route in the synthesis of the cytotoxic natural product urukthapelstatin A (Ustat A) confirmed that a solid phase method is superior. The solution phase approach was tedious and involved cyclization of a ridged heterocyclic precursor, while solid phase allowed the rapid generation of a flexible linear peptide. Cyclization of the linear peptide was facile and subsequent generation of three oxazoles located within the structure of Ustat A proved relatively straightforward. Given the ease with which the oxazole Ustat A precursor is formed via our solid phase approach, this route is amenable to rapid analog synthesis.
