Peptide stapling is a strategy for constraining short peptides typically in an alpha-helical conformation. Stapling is carried out by covalently linking the side-chains of two amino acids, thereby forming a peptide macrocycle. Peptide “stapling” via interside-chain hydrocarbon linkages has emerged as one of the most promising approaches for the generation of potent and stable type Ⅰ peptidomimetics of α-helical protein binding motifs. Once inside the cell, stapled peptides are stable, and able to initiate or inhibit protein-protein interactions that are useful for the treatment of cancer, insulin secretion, inflammation and many other disease states.

Advantages of stapled peptides in drug design

The introduction of a hydrocarbon staple confers high levels of α-helical content and results in:

  • Better target affinity (5 to 5,000-fold increase)
  • Targeting of either extracellular or intracellular proteins
  • Viable pharmacokinetics and in vivo stability
  • Disruption of protein-protein interactions
  • Cell penetration through endocytic vesicle trafficking
  • Increased proteolytic resistance and serum half-life
  • Non-immunogenicity

Available Stapled Peptide Design Services

Creative Peptides provides multiple methods for synthesizing stapled peptides.

  • Grubbs catalysts are routinely used in olefin metathesis to incorporate hydrocarbon staples into peptides.

Stapled Peptide Design

  • The high efficiency and mild conditions of “click” reaction (Copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction) combined with the ease of synthesis of the necessary unnatural amino acids, allows for facile synthesis of triazole-stapled peptides.

Stapled Peptide Design

  • UV-induced reaction between tetrazoles and alkenes has been used by Madden et al. to staple peptides for inhibition of the p53-MDM2/MDMX interaction.
