Production of Atosiban’s Key Intermediate Pentapeptide: Synthetic Approaches to the Development of a Peptide Synthesis with Less Racemization and Simplifier Purification Process

The key intermediate NH₂-Ile-Thr(Bzl)-Asn-Cys(Bzl)-Pro-COOH of Atosiban was prepared from N-Boc-S-Bzl-cysteine by the stepwise lengthening of the chain according to the repetitive N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide/N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (BSA/NHS) strategy. This synthetic route required no chromatography purification and can be readily performed, yielding a highly pure pentapeptide compound.     

纳升电喷雾串联质谱法确证阿托西班的一级结构

利用电喷雾串联质谱对合成八肽阿托西班进行了二硫键还原前后的精确分子量测定和一级结构的确证.首先通过全扫描模式测定了其还原前后的精确分子量,然后选择母离子m/z 498.73(双电荷)通过串联质谱(MS/MS)得到碎片离子,采用Y离子的方法测定了阿托西班的序列并对其的修饰位点进行了确证.本方法具有灵敏度高、速度快、样品无需纯化等特点,在多肽类药物一级结构分析方面具有独特的优势.
