Four new analogs of arginine vasopressin containing β-homo-L-amino acid residue were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The introduced modifications yielded the following peptides:[β-homo Phe3]AVP (I), [β-homoPro7]AVP (II), [Cpp1, Tyr(Me)2, β-homoPhe3]AVP (III), and[Cpp1,Tyr(Me)2, β-homoPro7]AVP (IV). Agonistic properties of I and II, as well as antagonistic properties of III and IV were decreased, more pronouncedly with analogs substituted in the position 3.

In an attempt to determine some of the structural features in position 1 that account for V1 antagonism, four new analogues of arginine-vasopressin were synthesized and the effect of the modifications on the vasoconstrictor activity was checked using isolated mesenteric arterial vessels of rats. The protected precursors required for these analogues were synthesized by a solid phase method of peptide synthesis. One of the reported analogues, namely [1-(4-mercapto-4-tetrahydrothiopyraneacetic acid)., 2-O-methyltyrosine, 8-arginine]vasopressin appears to be a potent competitive antagonist of the vasoconstrictor effect by AVP.

Ring tritiated phenylalanine has been incorporated into [8-arginine]-vasopressin synthesized by the solid phase method. The peptide produced has levels of biological activities in agreement with those of the highly purified natural hormone.

Three synthetic oligopeptides were used for preparation of antibodies against the D-2 polypeptide of thylakoid membranes. Their sequence was chosen from a model of the folding of the amino acid sequence of the D-2 polypeptide subunit through the membrane that predicted these sequences to be exposed at the membrane surface. For the Merrifield solid-phase method on a fully automated synthesizer the Na-amino group was protected by a fluorenyl-9-methylcarbonyl group. The oligopeptides were coupled to serum albumin by EDAC for immunizations in rabbits. Antisera with high titer were obtained for the two oligopeptides that contained the amino acid sequence of the D-2 protein from amino acid 230 to 235 and from 235 to 241. The antisera reacted with the D-2 polypeptide, separated on SDS gel and agglutinated the thylakoid membrane. It is known that certain photosystem II functions are impaired by short time trypsin treatment of the membrane. The antisera were used to show that under these conditions the D-2 polypeptide in the membrane is very sensitive. The trypsination yielded two cleavage products detected by the two antisera, a 20 kDa fragment blotted by antiserum against amino acids 230 to 235 and a 10 kDa fragment blotted by the antiserum against amino acids 235 to 241. As the polypeptide cleavage occurs between the two epitopes, the trypsin cut is therefore at arginine 234. This supports the prediction that the sequence containing this arginine is the most exposed part of the D-2 polypeptide on the membrane (matrix) surface. It is proposed that the high sensitivity of the D-2 polypeptide accounts for the known effect of membrane trypsination on QA accessibility in photosystem II.

Tetradecapeptide renin substrate (H∙Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser∙OH) (1–14), tridecapeptide (1–13), dodecapeptide (1–12), undecapeptide (1–11), two nonapeptides (1–9) and (1–9-Leu), heptapeptide (1–7), tetrapeptide (1–4), tetrapeptide (5–8), pentapeptide (4–8), hexapeptide (3–8), and heptapeptide (2–8) were synthesized by the solid phase method and by using an improved reaction vessel. The yield averaged 50–70%. Homogeneity and purity of peptides were established with elemental anlysis for C, H, and N, paper chromatography in three solvent systems, electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, and enzymatic degradation by aminopeptidase M.

[8-Neopentylglycine]oxytocin (II) and [8-cycloleucine]oxytocin (III) were prepared by a combination of solid-phase synthesis and fragment condensation. Both analogues exhibited decreased uterotonic potency in vitro, each being about 15-30% that of oxytocin. Analogue II also displayed similarly decreased uterotonic potency in vivo and galactogogic potency. On the other hand, analogue III exhibited almost the same potency as oxytocin in the uterotonic assay in vivo and in the galactogogic assay.

Analogs of angiotensin II in which phenylalanine in position 8 was replaced with cymantrenylalanine or with its triphenylphosphine photosubstitution product were synthesized by the solid-phase method. On rabbit aorta strips, these peptides were found to be pure antagonists of angiotensin II. Their relative affinities are higher than most other analogs substituted in position 8 with bulky amino-acids.

Two {Met(0)6}deacetyl-thymosin β4analogs containing Phe(4F) or Tyr(Me) at position 12 were synthesized by the manual solid-phase method, and their anti-inflammatory effect on carrageenin-induced edema in the mouse paw was studied. Fluorination of the para-position of Phe12resulted in a marked antiinflammatory effect on carrageenin-induced edema in the mouse paw compared with that of our synthetic {Met(0)6}deacetyl-thymosin β4, but the other analog, {Met(0)6, Tyr(Me)12}deacetyl-thymosin β4, showed a marked reduction of the anti-inflammatory effect.
