Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogs are receiving exponential attention for the treatment of type II diabetes and controlling weight due to their unique structure with non-natural lipidated side chains. However, the industrial-scale manufacturing of such peptides poses noticeable challenges due to the gel-like appearance of the peptide intermediates used to form the branched structure. Here, we found an efficient approach for the complexation of these protected peptide building blocks with magnesium chloride, which allows for obtaining free-flowing stable solids suitable for the more process-friendly synthesis of the peptides. A screening of the solvents and magnesium chloride content allowed us to determine the optimal parameters for the preparation of the complexes. NMR spectral analysis showed the involvement of amide groups in the interaction with the magnesium salt. Lastly, the efficiency of the coupling of the Mg-complexed lipidated side-chain building blocks was confirmed for the synthesis of tirzepatide and semaglutide fragments, showing a comparable performance with respect to the noncomplexed derivatives.

期刊介绍： The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools，process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
