[1-β-Mercaptopropionic acid, 8-norarginine]vasopressin (L8, D8; I, II) was prepared by condensation of β-benzylthiopropionyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteine with Nγ-benzyloxycarbonyl-α,γ-diaminobutyryl-glycine amide (L2, D2) by the azide or carbodiimide method, respectively, removal of the benzyloxycarbonyl residue, guanidination of γ-amino groups, removal of protecting groups, closing of the disulfide bridge, and electrophoretic purification. I has an almost 2 times higher antidiuretic effect than DDAVP and a 3 times higher pressor effect than AVP. II has 20-25% of the antidiuretic effect of DDAVP and 16 IU/mg of the pressor effect.

p-Toluenesulfonyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-NG-p-toluenesulfanylarginyl-prolyl-glycineamide (I) and S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosyl-isoleucyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-leucyl-prolyl-glycine amide (III) were prepared by solid phase synthesis. After removal of the protecting groups, closure of the disulfide ring, and purification by continuous free-flow electrophoresis [arginine7, proline8]vasopressin (II) and [leucine7, proline8]oxytocin (IV) were obtained. The antidiuretic effect of II is markedly higher than its pressor effect; IV possesses c. 6% of the uterotonic and c. 10% of the galactogogous effect of oxytocin.

β-Benzylthiopropionyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteine azide was condensed with prolyl-α-amino-nitroguanidinopropionyl-glycine amides (L2; D2) to β-benzylthiopropionyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-prolyl-α-amino-β-nitroguanidinopropionyl-glycine amides (L8; D8) which after removal of the protecting groups in liquid hydrogen fluoride, closure of the disulfide ring, desalting, and electrophoretic purification afforded [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-α-amino-β-guanidinopropionic acid]vasopressin (I) and [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-D-α-amino-β-guanidinopropionic acid]vasopressin (II). The antidiuretic effect of I (II) is about 10% of the effect of [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP) (87 ± 8% DDAVP), the pressor effect is 49.5 I.U./mg (2.7 I.U./mg).

The condensation of p-toluenesulfonyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosine azide with D-phenylalanine methyl ester afforded p-toluenesulfonyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosyl-D-phenylalanine methyl ester which was subsequently converted into the hydrazide and azide and coupled with glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteine methyl ester. p-Toluenesulfonyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosyl-D-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteine methyl ester was condensed via the hydrazide and azide with prolyl-Nγ-p-toluenesulfonyl-αγ-diaminobutyryl-glycine amide. After removal of the protecting groups, closure of the disulfide bridge and purification, [3-D-phenylalanine, 8-α,γ-diaminobutyric acid]vasopressin was obtained which shows an appreciable antidiuretic effect of distinct specifity.

New approach to the synthesis of steroid oximes bearing O-substituents with terminal amino groups was described. The easily accessible steroid O-(carboxymethyl)oximes were reacted with single-protected Boc-α,ω-diaminoalkanes to give corresponding amide intermediates. From them the Boc protecting groups were cleaved with trifluoroacetic acid to afford the desired steroid derivatives with terminal amino groups. The procedure was succesfully tested on steroids with O-(carboxymethyl)oxime group in positions 7 and 17. The decomposition of target products was observed during deprotection of substituted 19-oximes.

Protecting groups like Fmoc and coupling both steps are essential to monitoring the Fmoc SPPS (Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis) reaction completion. Reliable methods are used to detect the unreacted number of amino groups for monitoring these two essential reaction steps of coupling and cleavage. The ability to detect the complete coupling, incomplete coupling or failure of coupling we use many colour tests in the laboratory and based on this the Fmoc peptide chemistry allows the control of the completion of the Fmoc cleavage. The most important test used is the Kaiser test and highly recommended to monitor the coupling and cleavage steps. If the result of colour tests is positive after coupling, then the second coupling should be performed. Then again use the colour test to detect the level of coupling. If the result is still slightly positive, repeat coupling with the smaller modification of reagents such as used PyBOP instead of HOBT AND HOAT. These colour tests help in revealing the presence of unreacted amino-functional groups. Thus, we need to block these free N-terminal of amino- acids which help in avoiding the making of deletion of sequence.

Free ε-amino groups of poly-L-lysine and poly-L-ornithine were alkylated in aqueous solution with 6-chloropurine and 6-chloropurine-riboside, were acylated with 4-acetylamino benzene sulfonyl chloride, and were condensed with N-(4-acetylamino benzene sulfonyl)-glycine using carbodiimide method. Approximately 50% of the free amino groups of the basic polypetides were substituted. The same method was used to prepare poly-α-amino acids bearing radioactive substituants.

Deaza analogs of three basic types of S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHase) inhibitors, (S)-DHPA (I), eritadenine (II) and AHPA (III), were prepared. Alkylation of 3-deazaadenine (V), 3-deazapurine (VI), 1-deazaadenine (VII) and 4-amino-6-bromo-5-cyanopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (XXII) with (R)-2,2-dimethyl-4-tosyloxymethyl-1,3-dioxolane (XIIIb), followed by acid hydrolysis, afforded the corresponding (S)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl derivatives XVIIa -XIXa and XXV. Reaction of V and VII with 2,3-O-cyclohexylidene-D-erythrono lactone (XXIX) and subsequent removal of the protecting groups in an acid medium gave eritadenine analogs XXVII and XXVIII. Compounds V and VII were alkylated with bromoacetaldehyde diethyl acetal to give N-(2,2-diethoxyethyl) derivatives XXXII and XXXIII from which the substituted acetaldehyde derivatives were liberated in situ and converted into compounds XXX and XXXI by cyanohydrine reaction followed by acid hydrolysis. The alkylations were performed in dimethylformamide with sodium or cesium salts of the bases. Biological activity was observed only with 3-deazaadenine derivatives XVIIa, XXVII and XXX, which exhibit both enzyme-inhibitory and antiviral activities.

ABSTRACT Two synthetic analogues of vasopressin, [N-α-triglycyl-8-lysine]-vasopressin (GVP) and [1-deamino-8-D-arginine]-vasopressin (DDAVP), with a pronounced and long-lasting pressor and antidiuretic action respectively, were given to healthy volunteers in order to investigate whether the ACTH-releasing ability of vasopressin, reflected by plasma cortisol increase, is related to its pressor or to its antidiuretic effect. The effecti'veness of 3 different intravenous doses of [8-lysine]-vasopressin (LVP) in causing release of ACTH was also studied, and the responses compared with that caused by LVP given intramuscularly, the usually recommended route of administration. The lowest dose of LVP used in this study, 1 μg (0.25 IU) intravenously, caused a significant change of plasma cortisol. Doses of GVP with a pressor effect comparable to that of 8 μg of LVP did not affect the plasma cortisol level significantly in spite of obvious pressor effects. Nor did DDAVP in doses which should exert a maximal antidiuretic effect (4 and 16 μg) increase the plasma cortisol level. In 2 out of 10 subjects, 40 μg of LVP (10 IU) given intramuscularly failed to give a rise in plasma cortisol exceeding 5μg/100 ml, which is generally required for regarding the response as normal, and also 16 μg (4 IU) of LVP intravenously failed to produce a response reaching this level in 1 out of 12 subjects. It is concluded that the ACTH-releasing ability of vasopressin is neither associated with its pressor nor with its antidiuretic action. The finding that normal subjects can have a low response to vasopressin reduces its value for testing the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary – adrenocortical system.
