Popis: Eleven peptides containing hydroxy-amino-acid have been synthesized manually by stepwise solid-phase method. Three of them were started on BHA-resin, the others on Merrifield-resin. TFMSA/TFA/p-cresol were used as cleaving reagent in all peptide-resin (1-11) cleavage. Furthermore, HF cleaving procedure was also used parallelly to five of those peptide-resins for contrast. No conspicuous difference in yield was found between TFMSA and HF. The purity of all products was checked by the profiles of analytical reversed phase HPLC (C-18) and the data of amino acid analysis. All synthetic peptides were tested for the effect on progesterone production by rat corpus luteum in vitro. Among them, three peptides, GlyTyr-NH2, LysTyr-NH2 and GlySer Lys-OH, showed significant effect (p less than 0.01) on inhibiting hCG-induced progesterone production.
