Abstract

In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to methods of forming an iodinated peptide compound that comprises: (a) forming a multifunctional precursor compound comprising (i) a residue of an amine-protected peptide that comprises two or more amino acid residues with primary-amine-containing side groups and (ii) a multifunctional moiety linked to the amine-protected peptide residue through an amide group or an ester group; (b) reacting the multifunctional precursor compound in an amide coupling reaction or an esterification coupling reaction with an iodinated compound to form an iodinated, amine-protected peptide compound comprising n iodinated moieties that are covalently attached to the amine-protected peptide residue through a residue of the multifunctional moiety; and (c) deprotecting the iodinated, amine-protected peptide compound to form the iodinated peptide compound.
