Den forannevnte koblingsreaksjonen kan.utføres ved å anvende velkjente fremgangsmåter innenfor oppløsningsfase peptidsyntesen. Således kan f.eks. amino terminal tetradekapeptidet omsettes med en hydroksy benzotriazole (HOBT) og dicycloheksylkarbodiimid (DCC) for å gi den aktiverte esteren som så omsettes med karboksyl terminaltetradekapeptidet for å gi det ønskede oktacosapeptidet i beskyttet form.

Removal of the protecting group in the protected undecapeptide Boc-Glu (OBzl)-Lys(Z)-Lys(Z)-Glu(OBzl)-Val-Val-Glu(OBzl)-Glu(OBzl)-Ala-Glu (OBzl)- Asn-OBzl with anhydrous hydrofluoric acid gave the free undecapeptide Glu-Lys-Lys-Glu-Val-Val-Glu-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asn which was homogeneous by paper electrophoresis after ion-exchange column chromatography.

Syntesen av det beskyttede tetradecapeptide fulgt et lignende skjema. Boc-Leu-OSu ble koblet med H-Lys(Z)-OH hvilket gav Boc-Leu-Lys(Z)-OH ..

For the synthesis of the amino-terminal acetyltetrapeptide, H3C was -Co-Ser(Bzl)-OBzl prepared from H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-OH and the benzyl bromide via the cesium salt of the amino acid Hydrasinalysis of H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-OBzl gave H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)- HNNH as a pure cross-linked allylic solid in good yield. Deblocking Boc-Ala-Ala-OH gave the dipeptide hydrochloride salt HC1 • H-Ala-Ala-OH. Coupling this dipeptide with Boc-Asp(OBzl)-OSu gave the protected tripeptide Boc-Asp(OBzl)-Ala-Ala-OH which was isolated as the dicyclohexyl amine salt Removal of the amino protecting group and condensation with H^C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-HNNH2 via the acid method of Honzl and Rudinger , Collection Czech.Chem.Commun. 2_6 , 2333 (1961), gave the partially protected tetrapeptide H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-Asp(OBzl)-Ala-Ala-OH as a reaction with equivalent amounts of hydrazine treated with DGC in the presence of HOBT gave the desired intermediate H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-.Asp(OBzl)-Ala-Ala-HNNH2 .

For syntesen av det beskyttede hektapeptidet Boc-Val-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-HNNH2, ble en fremgangsmåte som omfattet trinnvis forlengelse av peptid-kjeden fra den C-terminale ende anvendt. Således ble H-Glu(OBzl)-OH koplet med Boc-Ser(Bzl)-OSu for å gi det'beskyttede dipeptidet Boc-Ser(Bzl)-Glu (OBzl)-OH som ved fjerning av Boc-gruppen og vidre omsetningmed Boc-SEr (Bzl)-OSu gav tripeptidet Boc-Ser (Bzl)-Ser (Bzl)-Glu (OBzl.)-OH.

Thus, H-Glu(OBzl)-OH was coupled with Boc-Ser(Bzl)-OSu to give the protected dipeptide Boc-Ser(Bzl)-Glu (OBzl)-OH which by removal of the Boc group and further reaction with Boc-SEr (Bzl)-OSu gave the tripeptide Boc-Ser (Bzl)-Ser (Bzl)-Glu (OBzl.)-OH. Deprotection of an amino group followed by condensation of the resulting tripeptide salt HCl.'H-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH

med Boc-Thr(Bzl)-OSu gav det beskyttede tetrapeptide Boc-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH som ved behandling HC1 i THF fjernet Boc-gruppen og vidre omsetning med Boc-Asp(OBzl)-OSu resulterte i dannelsen av det beskyttede pentapeptide Boc-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH.. Boc-gruppen i denne forbindelsen ble fjernet ved HCl-behandling og det dannede produktet HC1 • H-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH ble så koblet tilBoc-Val-OSu hvilket gav Boc-Val-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH som et krystalinsk rent materiale. with Boc-Thr(Bzl)-OSu gave the protected tetrapeptide Boc-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH which on treatment with HC1 in THF removed the Boc group and further reaction with Boc-Asp(OBzl)-OSu resulted in the formation of the protected pentapeptide Boc-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH.. The Boc group in this the compound was removed by HCl treatment and the product formed HC1 • H-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH was then coupled to Boc-Val-OSu which afforded Boc-Val-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-OH as a crystalline pure material.

a-karboksylgruppen på den terminale glutamin-syreresten i det forannevnte heksapeptidet ble så spesifikk overført til hydrasid-funksjonen ved omsetning med en ekvivalent mengde hydrasin ved bruk avDCC som koplingsreagens i nærvær av HOBT.

The α-carboxyl group on the terminal glutamic acid residue of the aforementioned hexapeptide was then specifically transferred to the hydrazide function by reaction with an equivalent amount of hydrazine using DCC as the coupling reagent in the presence of HOBT. The desired protected hexapeptide hydrazide Boc-Val-Asp(OBzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Ser (Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-HNNH2 was isolated as pure crystalline solid in satisfactory yield.

ved bruk av den N-hydroksysuccinimid aktive ester fremgangsmåten til Anderson et al.,J.Amer. Chem. Soc. 8j5 , 1839 (1964 ). Reaksjonen mellom Boc-Thr(Bzl)-OSu og H-Lys(Z)-OH gav dipeptidet Boc-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)-OH som en olje som ble deprotektertpå a-amino enden og fikk reagere med Boc-Thr(Bzl)-OSu hvilket1 gav tripeptidet Boc-Thr(Bzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)-OH som et krystalinsk faststoff. Fjerning av Boc-gruppen og omsetning av det resulterende materiale HC1 • H-Thr(Bzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z).OH medBoc-Ile-OSu gav det ønskede beskyttelde tetrapeptid Boc-Ile-Thr(Bzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)-OH using the N-hydroxysuccinimide active ester method of Anderson et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 8j5 , 1839 (1964 ). The reaction between Boc-Thr(Bzl)-OSu and H-Lys(Z)-OH gave the dipeptide Boc-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)-OH as an oil which was deprotected on the α-amino end and allowed to react with Boc- Thr(Bzl)-OSu which1 gave the tripeptide Boc-Thr(Bzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)-OH as a crystalline solid. Removal of the Boc group and reaction of the resulting material HC1 • H-Thr(Bzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z).OH with Boc-Ile-OSu gave the desired protected tetrapeptide Boc-Ile-Thr(Bzl)- Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)-OH

som en krystalinsk ren forbindelse etter kromatografi på en kisel-gelkolonne. Dette tetrapeptid-fragmentet ble så deprotektert på aminoenden og kondensert med det beskyttede heksapeptidet Boc-Val-Asp (OBzl) -Thr (Bzl) -Ser (Bzl) -Ser (Bzl) -Glu (OBzl) -HNNH2 ved azid-metoden. hvilket gav det beskyttede decapeptidetBoc-Val-Asp(Bzl) hr(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Ser(Bzl)-Glu(OBzl)-Ile-Thr(Bzl)-Thr(Bzl)-Lys(Z)_ as a crystalline pure compound after chromatography on a silica gel column.

For den endelige kopling ble dette acetyl tetradecapeptid aktivert med DCC og HOBT og den dannede aktive ester fikk så reagere med TFA H-Asp(OBzl)-Leu-Lys(Z)-Glu(OBzl)-LYs(Z)-Glu(OBzl)-Val-Val-Glu(OBzl)-Glu(Obzl)-Ala-Glu(OBzl)-Asn-Obzl som var fremstilt fra den tilsvarende blokerte forbindelsen ved behandling med TFA hvilket gav det beskyttede acetyl-oktakospeptide H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-Asp(QBzl)-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp(OBzl)-Thr- (Bzl) -Ser (Bzl) -Ser (Bzl) -Glu (OBzl) -Ile-Thr (Bzl) -Thr (Bzl) -'•Lys (Z)-Glu(OBzl)-Lys(Z)-Lys(Z)-Glu(OBzl)-Val-Val-Glu(OBzl)-Glu(OBzl)-Ala-GluOBzl)-Asn-OBzl.

Alle mellom produktene som ble brukt var de samme bortsett fra det N-terminale acetyl tetrapeptidhydrasidet H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-Asn-Ala-Ala-HNNH2. For syntesen av denne forbindelsen ble Boc-Ala-Ala-OH først overført til Boc-Ala-Ala-OBzl som ved selektiv fjerning av Boc-gruppen med HC1 gav dipeptidseter-saltet HC1"H-Ala-Ala- OBzl. Dipeptidet ble så koblet med Boc-Asn-OH ved bruk av DCC/HOBT - metoden til Konig and Geiger, Chem. Ber. 103, 788 (1970), hvilket gav det beskyttede dipeptidesteren Boc-Asn-Ala-Ala-OBzl som ble behandlet med HCL i THF for å fjerne Boc-gruppen. Det reulterende produktet HC1■Asri-Ala-Ala-OBzl ble så kondensert (DCC/HOBT-metoden) med H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-OH •DCHA hvilket gav det ønskede tetrapeptidet H3C-CO-Ser(Bzl)-Asn-Ala-Ala-OBzl.
