1. Raw Material Receipt¶
- Incoming QC of amino acids, resins, solvents, reagents
- Certificate of Analysis (COA) verification
2. SPPS Assembly¶
- Automated or manual coupling cycles
- Each cycle: deprotection → wash → coupling → wash
- Monitoring: Kaiser test, UV tracking
3. Cleavage¶
- TFA-based cleavage cocktail
- Global deprotection of side-chain protecting groups
- Precipitation in cold ether
4. Crude Peptide QC¶
- Analytical HPLC (purity assessment)
- LC-MS (mass confirmation)
- Decision point: purity ≥ 70–85% → proceed to lyophilization or purification
5. Purification (Prep-HPLC)¶
- Gradient elution on C18 column
- Fraction collection based on UV detection
- Pooled fraction QC
6. Lyophilization¶
- Freeze-drying to remove solvents
- Final product as amorphous or crystalline powder
7. Final QC Release¶
- Full specification testing
- COA generation
Typical Timeline¶
| Scale | Timeline |
|---|---|
| Research (mg–g) | 1–2 weeks |
| Preclinical (g–10g) | 2–4 weeks |
| Clinical (10g–100g) | 3–6 weeks |
| Commercial (>100g) | 4–10 weeks |
