PyAOP

PyAOP is a coupling reagent used to prepare amides from carboxylic acids and amines in peptide synthesis^[1]. PyAOP is a derivative of the HOAt family of amide bond forming reagents, mediating the formation of amide bonds without the risk of guanidine formation, and is the preferred reagent for peptide cyclization^{[2, 3]}. PyAOP can synthesize N, N′-substituted acylguanidines by solid phase peptide synthesis and promote the formation of peptide bonds during the synthesis of cyclic peptide hybrids^{[4, 5]}. PyAOP can replace HATU to complete the coupling of Arg and Phe^[6].

PyAOP是一种偶联试剂，用于在肽合成中从羧酸和胺制备酰胺^[1]。PyAOP是酰胺键形成试剂HOAt家族的衍生物，介导酰胺键的形成，但没有形成胍的风险，是肽环化的首选试剂^{[2, 3]}。PyAOP能够通过固相肽合成合成N，N′取代的酰基胍，促进环肽杂交体合成过程中肽键的形成^{[4, 5]}。PyAOP能够代替HATU完成的Arg和Phe偶联^[6]。
