Abstract
A synthetic decapeptide, L-pglutamyl-L-histidyl-L-tryptophanyl-L-seryl-L-tyrosyl-glycyl-L-leucyl-L- arginyl-L-prolyl-glycinamide having the hormonal activity of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LRH) of the hypothalamus gland of mammals is provided by utilizing, as key starting materials, the amino acids, pyroglutamic acid, histidine, tryptophan, serine, tyrosine, glycine, leucine, arginine, proline. Synthesis of the decapeptide is accomplished by coupling, in appropriate protected forms, all of the remaining amino acids, individually or in combination, to the starting amino acid, or amino acid group or to the terminal amino acid resulting from combinations with one or more other amino acids, bound to a resin or carrier followed by release of the decapeptide from the carrier as the amide or other form which is converted to the amide, L-pglutamyl-L-histidyl-L-tryptophanyl-L-seryl-L-tyrosyl-glycyl-L-leucyl-L- arginyl-L-prolyl-glycinamide.
