Zur Totalsynthese von Human-Sekretin

Summary The synthesis of the heptacosapeptide amide with the primary structure of Human-secretin is described. For this purpose 7 fragments were designed, i.e. H-Gly-Leu-Val-NH₂ 25–27b,Z-Arg(Z ₂)-Leu-Leu-Gln-OH 21–24,Z-Arg(Z ₂)-Leu-Gln-OH 18–20,Z-Arg(Z ₂)-Glu(OtBu)-Gly-Ala-OH 14–17,Z-Arg(Z ₂)-Leu-OH 12–13,Z-Thr(tBu)-Ser(tBu)-Glu(OtBu)-Leu-Ser(tBu)-OH 7–11,Adoc-His(Adoc)-Ser(tBu)-Asp(OtBu)-Gly-Thr(tBu)-Phe-OH 1–6 these fragments were consequently assembled to the overall protected total sequence using the Wünsch/Weygand-method with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. After deprotection by exposure to trifluoroacetic acid in presence of 1,2-ethanedithiol and water as scavenger, the isolated crude product was purified by column chromatography on CM-Sepharose, fast flow. This synthetized Human-secretin showed the full biological activity in comparison to Porcine-secretin.
