Elastin plays a vital role in providing stretchy properties to tissues and body organs. Isodesmsoine is a proven to be useful biomarker for elastin degradation during the progressing stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and related diseases. The present work reported an efficient and gram-scale approach for the synthesis of Isodesmosine, starting from readily available Boc-Asp-OtBu using mild reaction conditions.
