Canaline is a derivative of ornithine, a naturally occurring amino acid with an O-alkyl hydroxylamine side chain that is produced by arginase from Canavanine. Due to its toxicity, by its ability to form oximes with carbonyl-containing biomolecules, it is produced by legumes as protection from herbivores. L-Canaline possesses anti-tumor activity against human acute leukemia T-cells, and as a result is of interest in cancer research. It also possesses antimalarial and antineoplastic properties. Fmoc-Can(Trt) is a unit for conventional Fmoc-SPPS of canaline (Can)-containing peptidesgenerally applied for oxime ligation.1,2 Surprisingly, it was recently reported that suchpeptides are spontaneously cleaved into two fragments via intramolecular cyclization reactionat Can under very specific conditions (pH ca. 4-5).3 Can will be applied to not onlytraditional medicinal chemistry and oxime-based bioconjugation but also various chemicalbiology-oriented research in future. 1.
