Popis: | Experimental details for the "Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis" of somatostatin are described. The 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl group was rapidly and quantitatively cleaved by 55% piperidine in dimethylformamide and monitored (u.v.) manually. For a kinetic study, a centrifugal reactor with a photometric control system and reference cell was used at each stage. The symmetrical anhydride coupling reaction was rapid and either acetic anhydride or fluorescamine termination was incorporated to minimize formation of deletion peptides. Anchor-bond cleavage was effected with trifluoroacetic acid which simultaneously removed all the acid labile tert.-butyl side chain protecting groups. N alpha-9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl peptides may be obtained by omitting the piperidine deprotection step after the last cycle of synthesis. From several syntheses, analytically pure di-S-protected somatostatin 14-peptide was obtained in 55-60% overall yield. The S-protecting groups were removed and the product was purified by gel filtration to give homogeneous dihydrosomatostatin (91%) yield. Oxidation of dihydrosomatostatin with potassium ferricyanide and purification by countercurrent distribution provided analytically pure homogeneous somatostatin. |
