    Abstract:
    The synthesis of the mast cell-degranulating peptide by liquid-phase fragment condensation is described. After the carboxyterminal of the peptide is condensated with polyethylene-glycol (Mr 10000) the following fragments are coupled stepwise on the polymer, a soluble carrier in dichloromethane by the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/hydroxybenzotriazole-method. Pos. 17-21 Boc-Lys(Z)-Ile-Cys(SiPr)-Gly-Lys(Z) (I) Pos. 12-16 Boc-Pro-His(Trt)-Ile-Cys(Trt)-Arg(Tos) (II) Pos. 8-11 Boc-His(Trt)-Val-Ile-Lys(Z) (III) Pos. 5-7 Boc-Cys(SiPr)-Lys(Z)-Arg(Tos) (IV) Pos. 1-4 Boc-Ile-Lys(Z)-Cys(Trt)-Asn(Mbh) (V) It is practical to crystallize the polyethyleneglycol peptide-coupling products from ethanol after each step. Most of the protecting groups can be removed by treatment of the complete polyethylene-glycol-peptide in trifluoroacetic acid/HBr. In methanol, saturated with ammonia, the peptide is removed in the amid-form from the carrier. The guanidyl-blocking group disappears by solving the peptide in liquid HF. The crude peptide is converted into the tetra-S-sulfonate derivate by oxidative sulfitolysis and purified by ion-exchange and gel chromatography. After reduction by mercaptoethanol a cautious air-reoxidation of the SH- to the SS-peptide followed. Rechromatography on ion-exchange and dextran gels yields a peptide with good biological activity in rat cell histamin-liberation and inflammation inhibition compared with the natural recombinated product.
