    Abstract:
    Substitution of the -OSO3H group in the sulfated-tyrosine by the non-hydrolyzable-CH2SO3H group was the first described modification of the sulfate ester that does not affect CCK8 activity. In addition to its capacity to mimic the sulfated tyrosine residue, the amino acid Phe(p-CH2SO3Na) was shown to be stable in acidic media, including HF containing mixtures. The synthesis of Boc-Phe(p-CH2SO3Na)-OH in racemic and resolved forms and its introduction into the sequence of CCK8 by solid phase using standard Boc/benzyl synthesis conditions and BOP as coupling reagent is now reported. The two CCK8 analogues containing the L- or the D-Phe(p-CH2SO3Na) residue, obtained in satisfactory yields, were separated by HPLC and the stereochemistry of Phe(p-CH2SO3Na) residue in each peptide was established by NMR spectroscopy and confirmed by a separate solid phase synthesis in which the pure L isomer was used. Both CCK8 analogues displayed high affinities for peripheral and central receptors (KI approximately 1 nM) and proved to be full agonists in the stimulation of pancreatic amylase secretion. The "stabilized-CCK8 peptide", easily prepared by solid phase, could replace the native peptide in biochemical and pharmacological studies. Moreover the modified amino acid Phe (p-CH2SO3Na) could also be used in solid phase synthesis to prepare a wide variety of CCK analogues and more generally, peptides analogues containing the acid-labile O-sulfated tyrosine.
