A liquid-phase split-type synthesis of various tripeptides and pentapeptides was conducted
using a fluorous-Fmoc protection strategy. Fluorous-Fmoc reagents were effectively
used as both the protecting group for the amino function and the encoding tag for
the amino acid structure. Several of the synthetic peptides prepared showed high activities
in an ACE inhibitory assay.
