Summary

A potential general method for the synthesis of water-soluble multimetallic peptidic arrays containing a predetermined sequence of metal centers is presented.

Abstract

We demonstrate a method for the synthesis of a water-soluble multimetallic peptidic array containing a predetermined sequence of metal centers such as Ru(II), Pt(II), and Rh(III). The compound, named as a water-soluble metal-organic complex array (WSMOCA), is obtained through 1) the conventional solution-chemistry-based preparation of the corresponding metal complex monomers having a 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-protected amino acid moiety and 2) their sequential coupling together with other water-soluble organic building units on the surface-functionalized polymeric resin by following the procedures originally developed for the solid-phase synthesis of polypeptides, with proper modifications. Traces of reactions determined by mass spectrometric analysis at the representative coupling steps in stage 2 confirm the selective construction of a predetermined sequence of metal centers along with the peptide backbone. The WSMOCA cleaved from the resin at the end of stage 2 has a certain level of solubility in aqueous media dependent on the pH value and/or salt content, which is useful for the purification of the compound.

Introduction

Controlled synthesis of complicated molecular structures has always been a major issue in synthetic chemistry. From this point of view, to synthesize multinuclear heterometallic complexes in a designable fashion is still a worthy subject to be challenged in the field of inorganic chemistry because of the numbers of possible structural outcomes from the ligand-metallation-based approach that is commonly used for the preparation of monomeric metal complexes. Although several examples of multinuclear heterometallic complexes have been reported so far^1,2,3, the trial-and-error or arduous nature of their synthesis necessitates the development of a simple method that is applicable for a wide range of structures.

As a new approach to address this issue, in 2011 we reported a synthetic methodology^4,5 where various mononuclear metal complexes having a Fmoc-protected amino acid moiety are sequentially coupled to give multimetallic peptidic arrays by using the protocols of solid-phase polypeptide synthesis⁶. Due to the consecutive nature of polypeptide synthesis, a specific sequence of multiple metal centers is rationally designable by controlling the number and order of the coupling reactions of those metal complex monomers. Later, this approach was further modularized to make various larger and/or branched array structures by combining with the covalent linkage between two shorter arrays⁷.

Here we will show how the synthesis of such multimetallic peptidic arrays is typically operated by choosing the recently reported WSMOCA (1⁸ CAS RN 1827663-18-2; Figure 1) as a representative example. Although the synthesis of one particular array is described in this protocol, the same procedures are applicable to the synthesis of a wide range of different sequences, including isomers⁹. We expect that this protocol will inspire more researchers to participate in the science of sequence-controlled compounds, where the molecules investigated thus far have typically been biopolymers but rarely include examples of metal-complex-based species.

Discussion

Perfect removal of the undesired chemicals from the resin is not always possible simply by washing with solvents that can easily dissolve those chemicals. A key technique to efficiently wash the resin is to cause it to swell and shrink repetitively so that the chemicals remaining inside will be forced out. This is why the resin in our procedure is treated with CH₂Cl₂ and MeOH alternately as it is washed (e.g., protocol 2.1.4).

As a consequence of successive multiple non-quantitative coupling reactions, the amount of targeted array in the as-cleaved mixture at the end of the solid-phase synthesis could be small. Although each reaction in the solid-phase synthesis is generally only conducted once, the same coupling reaction can be repeated multiple times, as exemplified in protocol 2.6, if it is necessary to improve the overall coupling yield of the corresponding reaction step. By repeating the same coupling reaction two times, a ~10% larger yield of the corresponding coupling reaction can be realized.

In contrast to Fmoc-protected amino acid monomers commonly used for solid-phase polypeptide synthesis, those monomers bearing a metal complex for multimetallic peptidic arrays generally show a yield of no more than 80% in their coupling reactions at the surface of the resin. Steric effects due to the presence of a bulky metal complex moiety play a role, as the insertion of one amino acid unit at the C-terminal of the monomer sometimes improves its coupling yield drastically. However, even such modifications of the monomer structure are still not enough to optimize the quantitative coupling reactions. This is an issue to be addressed in the future, particularly for the high-throughput production of multimetallic peptidic arrays via the automation of the whole process of this methodology, as already established in the case of solid-phase polypeptide synthesis.

Compared with solution-phase synthesis, one of the important advantages of solid-phase synthesis is the easy separation of products attached to the resin from other chemicals in the solution by filtration and washing with solvents that can dissolve them.¹¹ This is particularly useful for the synthesis of multimetallic species whose separation/purification is not easy with other methods. Accordingly, the protocol highlighted here is the only realistic choice to make multimetallic peptidic arrays having a predetermined sequence of three or more different metals. Moreover, due to the simplicity of this method, the protocol can cover the production of a much wider range of multimetallic heteronuclear complexes than those accessible from already-existing synthetic approaches^1,2,3.

As compounds produced by this method possess a perfectly controlled sequence of metal centers along the peptide backbone, they are appealing candidates to investigate the effects of such sequence-regulated structures on the interactions with bio-related molecules (e.g., peptides, proteins, nucleic acids, and sugars, which also have a regulated sequence in their structure). This is our incentive to make the products water-soluble.
