A process for the production of pramlintide, a 37-mer peptide, is provided. The synthesis provides a high yield synthesis of the peptide in relatively pure form. Further purification can be achieved by preparative HPLC.

Process for the synthesis of 37-mer peptide pramlintide

The present invention relates to an improved process for the large scale synthesis of cyclic heptapeptide using Fmoc solid phase synthesis technique. The described process assembles the peptide on a solid support resin by coupling to one another by peptide bonds to obtain a peptide wherein the coupling of cysteine to the resin employs a combination of solvents to reduce cysteine racemization. The process described relates to the use of C1-C4 alcohols as total substitute to organic nitriles thus making the process cost effective, non-toxic and eco-friendly.

Process for the synthesis of cyclic heptapeptide

This invention relates a process for preparing octreotide and derivatives thereof. The starting material, Cys(Trt)-2-Chlorotrityl resin is coupled with various amino acids to obtain a protected heptapeptide of formula (2): Boc-D-Phe-Cys(Trt)-Phe-D-Trp-Lys(Boc)-Thr(OBut)-Cys(Trt)-2-Chlorotrityl resin. The linear protected peptide of formula (2) is cleaved from the support using TFA5TIS and water to yield linear protected peptide of formula (3) Boc-D-Phe-Cys(Trt)-Phe-D-Trp-Lys(Boc)-Thr(OBut)-Cys(Trt)-OH Linear protected heptapeptide of formula (3) is deprotected to yield heptapeptide of formula (6): D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Tip-Lys-Thr-Cys-OH; which is cyclized using hydrogen peroxide and to the cyclic peptide of formula (7) D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-OH; threoninol is coupled at C terminal to yield octreotide. Alternatively threoninol is coupled to the heptapeptide of formula (3) to yield protected octapeptide of formula (4) Boc-D-Phe-Cys(Trt)-Phe-D-Trp-Lys(Boc)-Thr(OBut)-Cys(Trt)-Thr-OL which is subsequently deprotected to yield linear octapeptide of formula (5) D-Phe-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-OL and cyclized with hydrogen peroxide to yield cyclic octreotide with a yield of &#x3e;95%.
