Deprotection of the tert-butoxycarbonyl group during solid-phase synthesis of peptides can be conveniently and efficiently carried out using a neutral reagent, silicon tetrachloride/sodium iodide (iodotrichlorosilane). This simple and rapid method has been advantageously employed during the solid-phase synthesis of the pituitary hormone, oxytocin. 相似文献
The synthesis is of Tyr(P)-containing peptides by the use of Fmoc-Tyr(PO3Me2)-OH in Fmoc/solid phase synthesis is complicated since, firstly, piperidine causes cleavage of the methyl group from the -Tyr(PO3 Me2)-residue during peptide synthesis and, secondly, harsh conditions are needed for its final cleavage. A very simple method for the synthesis of Tyr(P)-containing peptides using t-butyl phosphate protection is described. The protected phosphotyrosine derivative, Fmoc-Tyr(PO3tBu2)-OH was prepared in high yield from Fmoc-Tyr-OH by a one-step procedure which employed di-t-butyl N,N-diethyl-phosphoramidite as the phosphorylation reagent. The use of this derivative in Fmoc/solid phase peptide synthesis is demonstrated by the preparation of the Tyr(P)-containing peptides, Ala-Glu-Tyr(P)-Ser-Ala and Ser-Ser-Ser-Tyr(P)-Tyr(P). 相似文献
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method is described for the assay of the active metabolite [1-(2-pyrimidinyl)piperazinel of buspirone, an anxiolytic agent, in rat plasma.
The method is based on the use of ion-pair HPLC coupled to a liquid—solid extraction scheme. Samples of rat plasma (2 ml) with internal standard (1-phenylpiperazine), adjusted to pH 10.5 with borate buffer, were loaded on to a preactivated C-18 cartridge. The metabolite and the internal standard were eluted with 5 ml of methanol and injected on to a reversed-phase 10-μm Spherisorb ODS-2 column. The column was eluted with a mobile phase of 0.005 M sodium lauryl sulphate in citrate buffer (pH 3.6)-acetonitrile (65:35, v/v) at 2 ml min−1. Detection was carried out at 248 nm. The recovery of the metabolite was 55%. The method was applied to the determination of the metabolite in rat plasma after oral dosing (25 mg kg−1) of the parent compound. 相似文献
