A facile and efficient method for synthesis of macrocyclic lipoglycopeptide

An efficient and practical method for macrocyclic lipoglycopeptide synthesis was developed and utilized to synthesize lipoglycosylated derivatives of Tyrocidine A. The method is based on solid-phase peptide synthesis using 2-chlorotrityl resin as the solid-phase support and lipoglycosyl amino acids as building blocks. This synthetic method should be generally applicable to various macrocyclic lipoglycopeptides.
