Development of methods for the synthesis of large combinatorial libraries of macrocyclic compounds

Mischa Schüttel

Macrocycles have raised much interest in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to bind challenging targets while often still being able to cross membranes to reach intracellular proteins. However, the development of macrocyclic ligands to new di ...

Nanomole-scale photochemical thiol-ene chemistry for high-throughput late-stage diversification of peptide macrocycles

Mischa Schüttel, Alexander Lund Nielsen, Mark Daniel Nolan

The photochemical thiol-ene reaction is an efficient method for rapid and chemoselective formation of thioether linkages under mild conditions. It has found widespread use in small-molecule synthesis as well as peptide and protein chemistry. While high-thr ...

WILEY2023

Synthesis and direct assay of large macrocycle diversities by combinatorial late-stage modification at picomole scale

Gerardo Turcatti, Christian Heinis, Julien Bortoli Chapalay, Jonathan Patrice Vesin, Alessandro Angelini, Manuel Leonardo Merz, Sevan Mleh Habeshian, Mischa Schüttel, Ganesh Kumar Mothukuri, Gontran Sangouard

Macrocycles have excellent potential as therapeutics due to their ability to bind challenging targets. However, generating macrocycles against new targets is hindered by a lack of large macrocycle libraries for high-throughput screening. To overcome this, ...
