Abstract

A solid phase peptide synthesis of 17 growth hormone (GH) releasing peptide analogues Ia - IIIc for their use in a pharmacological assay on GH release is described. While the linear peptide amides Ia - Ij were synthesized on p-methylbenzhydrylamine resin using Boc strategy, and cleaved by HF in the presence of scavengers the linear peptide amides Ik and Il were prepared on Merrifield benzyl ester type resin using Fmoc strategy and cleaved by ammonolysis. The deleted peptide amides IIa and IIb were obtained as by-products during HPLC purification of analogues Ic and Id. The linear precursors of cyclic peptides IIIa - IIIc were also prepared on Merrifield resin and cleaved under mild alkaline conditions. Their cyclization was performed in solution by diphenylphosphoryl azide.
