Abstract: Peptides are important as drugs and biologically active molecules. The synthesis of peptides
has gathered considerable attention in recent years due to their various attractive properties.
Conventional peptide synthesis is tedious and requires hazardous reagents and solvents. Microwave-
assisted solid-phase peptide synthesis has several advantages compared with conventional
batch synthesis. Herein, we have discussed various microwave-assisted solid-phase peptide bond
synthesis methods developed over the last five years. Peptides are categorized into four groups -
small, medium, large, and cyclic based on their length and structural characteristics to make it easier
to understand. This review article also discusses the scope and limitations of microwave-assisted
solid-phase peptide synthesis.
