Synthese von N-geschütztem Eledoisin (6–11)-Hexapeptid unter Verwendung von Proteasen als Biokatalysatoren

Papain and -chymotrypsin were used for the protease-catalyzed assembly ofBoc-protected eledoisin (6–11)-hexapeptide by (2+4)- and (3+3)-segment condensation, respectively, in aqueous-organic solvent systems. As C-components, chemically synthesizedBoc-protected peptide methyl esters were employed. The nucleophilic tetrapeptide amide was prepared by papain-catalyzed (2+2)-segment coupling, while theZ-protected C-terminal dipeptide amide could be obtained by -chymotrypsin- and thermolysin-catalyzed peptide bond formation. In addition, the influence of various reaction conditions, such as solvent composition, nucleophile concentration and reaction time, on the yield of theBoc-protected eledoisin (6–11)-hexapeptide was determined.
