Synthesis of antimicrobial peptides derived from BP100 and BPC194

Güell Costa, Imma 27 January 2012 (has links)
In the present PhD thesis we studied the solid-phase peptide synthesis of antimicrobial peptides derived from the lead peptides BP100 and BPC194. First, peptides derived from BP100 containing D-amino acids at different positions of the sequences were prepared. Moreover, peptidotriazoles derived from BP100 were also synthesized containing the triazole ring at the side-chain of different amino acids. Then, we proceeded to perform studies for the synthesis of multivalent peptides derived from BPC194. To achieve this objective, the synthesis of cyclic peptides containig a triazole ring at amino acids side-chain with different elongations was carried out. Finally, we prepared various carbopeptides containing 2 and 4 units of BP100 and/or its derivatives. The evaluation of the biological activity allowed the identification of active sequences against the economically important phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi and not toxic against eukaryotic cells. / En aquesta tesi doctoral es va estudiar la preparació en fase sòlida de pèptids antimicrobians derivats dels pèptids lead BP100 i BPC194. En primer lloc, es varen preparar derivats del pèptid lineal BP100 incorporant D aminoàcids en diferents posicions de la seqüència. A més, també es varen sintetitzar derivats d'aquest pèptid lead incorporant un anell de triazole a la cadena lateral de diferents aminoàcids. Posteriorment, es va procedir a l'estudi de la síntesi dd pèptids multivalents derivats de BPC194. Per aconseguir aquest objectiu es va portar a terme la síntesi de pèptids cíclics incorporant un anell de triazole a la cadena lateral d’aminoàcids amb diferents allargades de cadena. Finalment, va procedir a la preparació de carbopèptids contenint 2 i 4 unitats de BP100 i/o derivats. L’avaluació de l’activitat biològica dels pèptids sintetitzats va permetre idenficar seqüències actives enfront de bacteris fitopatògens i fongs i poc tòxiques enfront cèl•lules eucariotes.
