In this report, we are documenting the synthesis of peptide barbiturate through copper-catalyzed oxidation of peptide disulfide. Single disulfide-containing contryphans are used as models to access possibility of anchoring of barbituric acid (BRB) onto the peptide disulfide. Current method permits anchoring of two molecules of BRB onto the polypeptide and yield of peptide barbiturates varies from 59 to 84%. Formation of cysteine sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH) during oxidation of disulfide was confirmed using chemical probe of Cys-SOH dimedone. Mass spectrometric studies have confirmed the presence of cysteine barbiturate in anchored peptides. Based on the nature of reactive oxygen species involved in oxidation of peptide disulfide, possible mechanisms were proposed for anchoring of BRB onto the peptide disulfide through Cys-SOH. This is the first report on anchoring of two molecules of BRB onto the closely spaced cysteine residues of single polypeptide.
