Scheme S1: Synthesis of on resin diaminobenzoic acid linker (Dbz)

The suspension of rink amide resin (0.3 mmol/g loading; 0.1 mmol) in DMF and swelled for 30 min, then the resin was

treated with 20% piperidine stand for 5 min twice and then washed with DMF and coupled to 4-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid

(ANB) (4 equiv.), HBTU (4 equiv.) and NMM (8 equiv.) in DMF (3 mL). The reaction mixture was allowed to stirred for

2 h. The resin was washed with DCM (3 mL x 3) and DMF (3 mL x 3). The unreacted resin was capped by acetic anhydride.

The supernatant was removed and the resin was washed with DMF (3 mL x 3) and DCM (3 mL x 3). The resulting resin-

bound ANB was bubbled with N2 for 10 min and then carried out with the dihydrate of tin (II) chloride (2.5 M) in the

presence of DBU (2 mmol) in DMF during 6 h at room temperature. The resulting resin-bound o-aminoanilide was filtered

off and then washed DMF (3 mL x 3) and DCM (3 mL x 3). The resin was dried under vacuo and treated with TFA: H2O

(95:5) to afford 95% yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) : δ 7.10 (s, 1H), 7.04 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 1H), 6.47 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H).

HRMS calcd for C7H10N3O (M+H)+ 152.0824, found 152.0821.

Loading Estimation of the First Amino Acid

The resin was treated with piperidine/DMF (1:4, v/v, 3 mL, 5 min × 3) and the combined deprotection solution (20%

piperidine in DMF) made up to 10 mL with DMF. The solution was diluted 200-fold with DMF and the UV absorbance of

the piperidine-fulvene adduct measured (λ = 301 nm, ε = 7800 M−1cm−1) to estimate the amount of amino acid loaded onto

the resin.

General procedure for solid phase peptide synthesis

The peptide synthesis was carried out using Fmoc-SPPS on rink amide resin (0.3 mmol/g, 0.05 mmol). The resin was treated

with 20% piperidine (5 min x 2) washed with DMF and coupled with 4-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid (4 equiv.) using HBTU

(4 equiv.), NMM (8 equiv.) in DMF for 1 h. After the resin bound ANB was reduced with tin(II) chloride (2.5 M) in the

presence of DBU (2 mmol) in DMF. The remaining peptide was synthesized on an automated PS3 peptide synthesizer using

Fmoc-Xaa-OH (2 equiv.), NMM (4 equiv.) and HBTU (2 equiv.). The coupling was performed for 60 min and Fmoc-

deprotection was achieved using 20% piperidine (10 min x 2). Coupling reactions were checked by Kaiser test.

S3 

General procedure for cyclization and cleavage of the benzotriazole linker

The resin-bound Dbz peptide was washed with DMF (3 mL x 3) and DCM (3 mL x 3), then treated with isoamyl nitrite (10

equiv.) in DMF (4 mL) for 90 min at room temperature. Unreacted isoamylnitrite was washed with DCM. The nucleophilic

(4 equiv.) and DIPEA (8 equiv.) in DMF was bubbled with N2 for 20 min and then immediately added into the activated

peptidyl-resin. The reaction was allowed to shake for 2 h at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the

supernatant was removed and concentrate under vacuo. The resulting peptide derivative was deprotected with 20%

piperidine in DMF and then TFA cocktail (TFA/TIS/H2O (95:2.5:2.5) or TFA/phenol/water/thioanisole/EDT

(82.5:5:5:5:2.5)). The peptide was precipitated in cold ether and collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was removed

and the residue was dissolved in 30% acetonitrile/H2O and lyophilized to afford pure product without further purification.

Synthesis of benzotriazole (17, Bt)

S4 

The resin-bound Dbz linker 3 (0.05 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) was added isoamyl nitrite (10 equiv.) at room temperature. The

reaction mixture was allowed to shaken for 90 min at room temperature. The resin was filtered and then washed DCM (3

mL x 3). The benzotriazole was cleaved from resin using TFA: H2O (95:5) to afford the compound 17. The crude mixture

was applied directly to flash chromatography (50-75% EtOAc/ hexanes) to yield 8 mg (92%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR

General procedure for nucleophilic substitution on benzotriazole resin

The resin-bound Dbz 2 (0.05 mmol, 157mg) was coupled with amino acid (4 equiv.) in the presence of HBTU (2 equiv.)

and NMM (4 equiv.) in DMF for 1 h. The resin was washed with DMF (3 mL x 3) and DCM (3 mL x 3). After that resin

bound Dbz amino acid was treated with a solution of isoamylnitrite (10 equiv.) in 4 mL of DMF for 90 min at room

temperature. After washing with DCM (3 mL x 3), the resulting resin was shaken with a mixture of ethanol (10 equiv.) and

DIPEA (8 equiv.) in DCM for 2 h at room temperature. The resin was washed with DCM (3 mL x 3), then the supernatant

was concentrated under vacuo and washed through silica gel pad (ɸmm x 12 mm) to afford pure product.

General procedure for nucleophilic acyl substitution on peptide

Peptide was prepared according to Fmoc-strategy SPPS on rink amide resin (0.05 mmol), as outlined in the general

procedures. The resin-bound o-aminoanilide peptide was washed with DMF, then treated with isoamyl nitrite (10 equiv.) in

DMF at room temperature for 90 min. After the resin was filtered, washed sequentially with DCM (3 mL x 3). The

nucleophiles (4 equiv.) and DIPEA (8 equiv.) in DMF was bubbled with N2 for 20 min and then immediately added into the

activated peptidyl-resin. After 2 h, the resin was washed with DMF (3 mL x 3) and the supernatant was concentrate under

vacuo. Then, the resulting product was deprotected by using 20% piperidine in DMF for 30 min and TFA cocktail for 1.5

h. The peptide was precipitated in cold ether and collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was removed and the residue

was dissolved in 30% acetonitrile/H2O and lyophilized to afford pure product without further purification.

Preparation of peptide decorated dendrimer

Scheme S2:

 

 

 

Peptide was prepared according to Fmoc-strategy SPPS on rink amide resin (0.2 mmol), as outlined in the general procedures.

At the end of the synthesis, the resin-bound o-aminoanilide-peptide was washed with DMF and DCM, then treated with

isoamyl nitrite (10 equiv.) at room temperature for 90 min. The resin was filtered, washed with DCM (3 mL x 3). The

solvent DMF (4 ml) with DIPEA (8 equiv.) was bubbled with N2 for 20 min. Then, it was treated with peptidyl resin and

PAMAM dendrimer. After 2 h, the resin was washed with DMF and the solution was concentrate in vacuo. The resulting

product was deprotected by using 20% piperidine in DMF for 30 min and then precipitated with cold ether (25 mL x 2) and

collected by centrifugation. After that, the product was concentrate under vacuo and then treated with TFA/TIS/H2O

(95:2.5:2.5 v/v/v, 4 mL) was used to remove the protecting group at 25 °C for 1.5 h. Finally, the resulting peptide decorated

dendrimer was allowed to precipitated with cold ether (25 mL x 2) and collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was

removed and the residue was dissolved in 30% ACN/H2O and lyophilized to afford pure product without further purification.

PDI value was obtained from Gel Permeation chromatogram(GPC) instrumentation. Conditions: preparation of

compound 11a-f (1 mg/ml in H2O); TSK G2000SW column; elute: 0.1 % TFA in H2O; follow rate: 1 ml/min;

The linear SFTI-1 peptide was prepared according to Fmoc-strategy SPPS on rink amide resin (0.05 mmol), as outlined in

the general procedures. At the end of the synthesis, the Fmoc protected peptide-resin was deprotected with 20% piperidine

in DMF and washed with DMF (3 mL x 3). The free N-terminal amine resin-bound o-aminoanilide-peptide is activated with

isoamyl nitrite (10 equiv.) at room temperature for 90 min. The resin was filtered, washed with DCM (3 mL x 3). The on

resin N-terminal amine is reacted with C-terminal acid and cleaved from resin in the presence of DIPEA (4 equiv.) in DMF

(3 mL) for 5 h at room temperature. Then global deprotection was effected using a solution of TFA/TIS/H2O (95:2.5:2.5, 4

mL) affording the oxidized SFTI-1 peptide was acquired 11 as a white solid after lyophilization (12 mg, 42% yield). 1H

Synthesis of VPGVG (13)

Peptide was prepared according to the Fmoc-strategy SPPS on rink amide resin (0.1 mmol/g loading; 0.78 mmol). The

peptide was synthesized on an automated PS3 peptide synthesizer using Fmoc-Xaa-OH (2 equiv.), NMM (4 equiv.) and

HBTU (2 equiv.). The coupling was performed for 60 min and Fmoc-deprotection was achieved using 20% piperidine (10

min x 2). After washing the resin, the cleavage was carried out by treating the resin with cleavage cocktail TFA: H2O (95:5)

for 1.5 h. Then the solution was precipitation with cold Et2O and centrifugation the crude peptides can be obtained. After

lyophilisation, the desired peptide was afford in 86 % yield. 1H NMR (400 MHz, D2O): δ 4.39- 4.35 (m, 1H), 4.06-4.02 (m,

General procedure for preparation of elastin peptide

Scheme S3:

 

 

Peptide was prepared according to Fmoc-strategy SPPS on rink amide resin, as outlined in the general procedures. The

resin-bound o-aminoanilide peptide was washed with DMF, then treated with isoamyl nitrite (10 equiv.) in DMF at room

temperature for 90 min. After the resin was filtered, washed sequentially with DCM (3 mL x 3). The peptide nucleophile

and DIPEA (4 equiv.) in DMF was bubbled with N2 for 20 min and then immediately added into the activated peptidyl-

resin. After 2 h, the resin was washed with DMF (3 mL x 3) and the supernatant was concentrate. The resulting product was

deprotected by using 20% piperidine in DMF for 30 min, thereafter completely removing the DMF. The peptide was

precipitated in cold ether and collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was removed and the residue was dissolved in

30% acetonitrile/H2O and lyophilized to afford pure product without further purification.
