V. Santagada et al., A convenient synthesis of N-Fmoc-N,N '-bis-Boc-7-guanyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-isoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Fmoc-N,N '-bis-Boc-7-guanyl-Tic-OH, GTIC), TETRAHEDR L, 42(20), 2001, pp. 3507-3509
Fmoc-N,N'-Bis-Boc-7-guanyl-Tic-OH (GTIC), a conformationally constrained am
ino acid with basic properties, has been synthesized in four steps. This am
ino acid can be incorporated into peptides using standard Fmoc solid phase
synthesis, and to test its potential for biological activity applications,
we prepared an analog of H-Dmt-Tic-NH2. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
