Abstract

Advanced lipid peroxidation end-products (ALEs) accumulate with ageing and oxidative stress-related diseases. Despite their potential therapeutic value, there are no suitably protected ALE building blocks reported in the literature to enable their site-specific incorporation into synthetic peptides. The synthesis of an Fmoc-protected ALE building block, N∈-(3-methylpyridinium)lysine (MP-lysine) and its incorporation into collagen model peptides is reported.
