A highly effective method for synthesis of N(ω)-substituted arginines as building blocks for Boc/Fmoc peptide chemistry
Szekely, Zoltan,Zakhariev, Sotir,Guarnaccia, Corrado,Antcheva, Nikolinka,Pongor, Sandor
, p. 4439 - 4442 (2007/10/03)
Chemically and optically pure N(ω)-substituted arginine derivatives were prepared with high yields in two steps, starting from N(α)-protected ornithine and ArSO2N=C(SMe)2. The compounds were applied to solid phase peptide synthesis using Boc as well as Fmoc chemistries.

, p. 13023 - 13034 (2007/10/03)
We describe the development of a new non-acidolytic and non- nucleophilic method for the selective cleavage by trimethyltin hydroxide of amino acids and dipeptides at benzyl ester links attached to resins commonly used in peptide synthesis.

, (2008/06/13)
Fragments of HIV p17 protein ranging in length from about 12 to abut 40 amino acids are used to form diagnostics and vaccines for detection or treatment of AIDS. Specific peptide fragments extend from the N-terminal to the C-terminal. Peptides having the amino acid sequences shown by the following formula (I), (II), (III), (IV) and (V):, Tyr-Ser-Val-His-Gln-Arg-Ile-Asp-Val-Lys--Asp-Thr-Lys-Glu-Ala-Leu-Gly-Lys-Ile-Glu--Glu-Glu-Gln-Asn-Lys-Ser-Lys-Lys-Lys-Ala (I), Gly-Ala-Arg-Ala-Ser-Val-Leu-Ser-Gly-Gly--Glu-Leu-Asp-Arg-Trp-Glu-Lys-Ile-Arg-Leu--Arg-Pro-Gly-Gly-Lys-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Lys-Leu--Lys-His (II), Ile-Val-Trp-Ala-Ser-Arg-Glu-Leu-Glu-Arg--Phe-Ala-Val-Asn-Pro-Gly-Leu-Leu (III), Glu-Thr-Ser-Glu-Gly-Cys-Arg-Gln-Ile-Leu--Gly-Gln-Leu-Gln-Pro-Ser-Leu-Gln-Thr-Gly--Ser-Glu-Glu-Leu-Arg-Ser-Leu-Tyr-Asn-Thr--Val-Ala-Thr-Leu (IV), Ala-Gln-Gln-Ala-Ala-Ala-Asp-Thr-Gly-His--Ser-Ser-Gln-Val-Ser-Gln-Asn-Tyr (V), are immunoreactive to antibodies in sera of patients testing seropositive for p17 of HIV-1.

-
, (2008/06/13)
Antigen determinant peptides of the general formula I, H - Val - X - Y (I), in which X represents an octapeptidic to undecapeptidic sequence of a defined structure, Tyr-Tyr-Arg-Asp-Ser-Arg-Asn-Pro-Leu,Phe-Ile-His-Asn-Phe-Lys-Arg-Lys-Gly,Val-Pro-Arg-Arg-Lys-Ala-Lys-Ile,Leu-His-Thr-Gly-Glu-Arg-Asp-Trp-His-Leu-Gly,Ser-Gly-Lys-Ala-Arg-Gly-Trp-Phe, or Ser-Ile-Glu-Trp-Arg-Lys-Lys-Arg-Tyr-Ser, and Y stands for a hydroxyl or an amino group,available by fragment synthesis or successive condensation of the respective amino acid residues (stepwise build-up) in solution or on a solid carrier, are expected to be of use as diagnostic agents for the so-called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and also to have a potential as monodeterminant antibodies and safe synthetic vaccine agents combating the human T-cell lymphotropic type III virus (HTLV-III, HIV).
Antigenic peptide compounds

, (2008/06/13)
The novel antigenic peptide compounds of this invention comprise sequences of 12 to 19 amino acids, which include twelve amino acid sequence glutamic acid-glutamine-leucine-isoleucine-glutamine-asparagine-leucine-valine-proline-glutamic acid-aspartic acid-lysine, all of the amino acids being in their L-forms. The compounds have utility in vaccines for reducing the fertility of mammals.
