SYNTHESIS OF A HEPTAPEPTIDE FORMING A MODIFIED ACTH 4-10 FRAGMENT

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00598358

A scheme is given for the synthesis of a heptapeptide representing a modified ACTH 4-10 fragment on the basis of which it is possible to create a preparation that is an effective adaptogen of peptide nature.A proposed variant of the synthesis permits a peptide with an adequate degree of purity to be obtained comparatively simply on a large scale.The intermediate compunds and the final products were obtained with good yields and were distinguished by chromatographic homogeneity.The heptapeptide synthesized did not differ with respect to its physicochemical characteristics and biological action from the analogous compound obtained previously.Some physicochemical characteristics of the compound obtained (angles of optical rotation, chromatographic mobilities) are given.
