A convenient scheme for the synthesis of 4,8-disubstituted vasopressins has been designed and its usefulness evaluated in the preparation of one of the parent hormones, 8-arginine-vasopressin. The ...main feature of the scheme involves preparation of two protected tripeptide fragments, Z-Cys(Bzl)-Tyr(Bzl)-Phe and Boc-Asn(Mbh)-Cys(Bzl)-Pro which are incorporated in a synthesis on a solid support. Both tripeptides were prepared conventionally with the carboxyl groups protected as benzyl esters. The benzyl-ester groups were removed by transesterification with 2-dimethylaminoethanol and subsequent hydrolysis. To avoid racemization in the coupling step with the fragment containing a C-terminal phenylalanine, N-hydroxysuccinimide was added. After removal of the peptide from the resin, deprotection, oxidation and desalting, final purification was effected by ion-exchange chromatography. Apart from the main product, which exhibited full pressor activity, only small amounts of impurities could be isolated.
