Peptoids are a promising class of peptidomimetics that exhibit the key chemical and physical properties of peptides but without being hampered by susceptibility towards enzymatic degradation. Biologically active peptoids are often designed to be amphipathic in nature, consisting of hydrophobic monomers interspersed with either cationic lysine-type or arginine-type monomers. Access to amphipathic peptoids that contain both lysine-type and arginine-type monomers is highly desirable as it offers a route to further modulate the biological properties of this class of molecule. However, the lack of a suitable synthetic route to prepare mixed cationic peptoids has meant that their biological potential has remained almost largely unexplored. Herein, we present an efficient synthetic route that can be used to access novel cationic peptoids containing both lysine-type and arginine-type monomers within the same sequence.
