Patent number: 11447524Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cyclic peptide polymer. R1, R2, and R3 are organic groups. Each R4 is a covalent bond, methylene, ethylene, n-propylene, or n-butylene. Each X is —NH—, —O—, or —O—CO—. The values m and n are nonnegative integers having a sum of at least 1. The value p is an integer greater than 1. The cyclic peptide polymer may be made by providing a first cyclic peptide monomer having a protecting group on the X group, covalently binding the —CO—OH group of the first cyclic peptide monomer to a solid support having a carboxylic acid-reactive group, converting the protecting group to —XH, reacting the —XH group with the —CO—OH group of an additional cyclic peptide monomer, optionally repeating the converting and reacting steps with further additional cyclic peptide monomers, and cleaving the cyclic peptide polymer from the solid support.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Kenan P.
