Using the method of solid-phase synthesis, S-benzyl-β-mercaptopropionyl-O-methyltyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-prolyl-NG-p-toluenesulfonyl-D-arginyl-glycine amide (I) was prepared which after removal of the protecting groups, oxidation, and purification afforded [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 2-O-methyltyrosine, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (II). II shows a low antidiuretic effect, c. 10 I.U./mg. It is without effect on rat uterus in vitro and on the blood pressure of rat in vitro.

p-Toluenesulfonyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-NG-p-toluenesulfanylarginyl-prolyl-glycineamide (I) and S-benzylcysteinyl-tyrosyl-isoleucyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-leucyl-prolyl-glycine amide (III) were prepared by solid phase synthesis. After removal of the protecting groups, closure of the disulfide ring, and purification by continuous free-flow electrophoresis [arginine7, proline8]vasopressin (II) and [leucine7, proline8]oxytocin (IV) were obtained. The antidiuretic effect of II is markedly higher than its pressor effect; IV possesses c. 6% of the uterotonic and c. 10% of the galactogogous effect of oxytocin.

A series of solid-phase syntheses of the protected precursor II of DDAVP was carried out. Experimental conditions were developed under which practically pure II can reproducibly be obtained in yields better than 60%. The protected precursors of DDAVP obtained by liquid- and solid-phase synthesis and DDAVP samples obtained from these precursors were undistinguishable by conventional analytical or pharmacological assays.

Two lysine-vasopressin analogs, [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-α,β-diaminopropionic acid]vasopressin (IVa) and [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-D-α,β-diaminopropionic acid]vasopressin (IVb) were prepared by solid phase synthesis. IVa and IVb show a considerable antidiuretic effect (1 079 and 1 000 I.U./mg, resp.) and a low pressor effect (14.0 and 22.8 I.U./mg, resp.). The uterotonic effect of IVa is 0.9 I.U./mg and of IVb 1.72 I.U./mg.

The solid phase synthesis of seven 2-O-methyl- and 2-O-ethyl-tyrosine substituted analogs of [8-arginine]vasopressin (AVP) with enhanced antidiuretic agonistic specificity is reported. These peptides are: [2-O-ethyltyrosine, 8-arginine]vasopressin (I), [2-O-methyltyrosine, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (II), [2-O-ethyltyrosine, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (III), [2-O-methyltyrosine, 4-valine, 8-arginine]vasopressin (IV), [2-O-ethyltyrosine, 4-valine, 8-arginine]vasopressin (V), [2-O-methyltyrosine, 4-valine, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (VI), [2-O-ethyltyrosine, 4-valine, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (VII). All analogs were tested for antidiuretic, antivasopressor and antioxytocic activities. Although all these new analogs are antidiuretic agonists they are antagonists of vasopressor responses to AVP, and of responses by the rat uterus to oxytocin. Thus, all seven new Tyr(Me) and Tyr(Et) containing analogs exhibit high antidiuretic specificity and have infinite antidiuretic/pressor (A/P) and antidiuretic/oxytocic (A/O) activity ratios. Some of these analogs e.g. Tyr(Me)DAVP, Tyr(Me)VAVP and Tyr(Me)VDAVP, which possess high antidiuretic activity with no pressor or oxytocic agonism, could be useful new pharmacological tools for characterizing receptors mediating specific responses to the neurohypophyseal hormones. They could also be potentially useful in the treatment of diabetes insipidus.

[8-Neopentylglycine]oxytocin (II) and [8-cycloleucine]oxytocin (III) were prepared by a combination of solid-phase synthesis and fragment condensation. Both analogues exhibited decreased uterotonic potency in vitro, each being about 15-30% that of oxytocin. Analogue II also displayed similarly decreased uterotonic potency in vivo and galactogogic potency. On the other hand, analogue III exhibited almost the same potency as oxytocin in the uterotonic assay in vivo and in the galactogogic assay.

N-substituted 3, 4-fullero pyrrolidine was synthesized according to 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide. Aspartic acid with protected α-amino and α-carboxyl groups was reacted with the activated hydroxyl group of N-substituted 3, 4-fullero pyrrolidine. The products were deprotected, affording the monofullerene aspartic acid (mFas). The conjugate FasT was synthesized by reaction of mFas containing protected amino group with the thymidylic acid derivatived controlled pore glass (CPG) using solid phase synthesis. All of the above fullerene derivatives were characterized by UV–vis, 1H NMR, IR and MS spectrometric analysis, giving the correct spectra with regard to their chemical structure. The chemical structures of fullerene nucleotides conjugate FasT is different from previous reports and may have novel biological properties. Moreover, they are more suitable for applications in biomedical research due to their solubilization in THF and DMSO. They have a potential to be used as monomer for the automatic synthesis. It allows further conjugation with specific biomolecules including amino acids, peptides, nucleotides and nucleic acids. A novel method has been developed to synthesize fullerene nucleotides conjugate. Their unique chemical structures make them very interesting for their potential use in medicine and biology.

We report a universal straightforward strategy for the chemical synthesis of modified oligoribonucleotides containing functional groups of different structures at the 2′ position of ribose. The on-column synthetic concept is based on the incorporation of two types of commercial nucleotide phosphoramidites containing orthogonal 2′-O-protecting groups, namely 2′-O-thiomorpholine-carbothioate (TC, as “permanent”) and 2′-O-tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl (tBDMS, as “temporary”), to RNA during solid-phase synthesis. Subsequently, the support-bound RNA undergoes selective deprotection and follows postsynthetic 2′ functionalization of the naked hydroxyl group. This convenient method to tailor RNA, utilizing the advantages of solid phase approaches, gives an opportunity to introduce site-specifically a wide range of linkers and functional groups. By this strategy, a series of RNAs containing diverse 2′ functionalities were synthesized and studied with respect to their physicochemical properties.

A versatile solid-phase synthesis strategy for preparing peptide–chelate conjugates was developed. The methodology was optimized using a series of ligands, designed to bind Tc(I)/Re(I), and a chemotactic peptide fMFL, which was exploited as a model targeting vector. The peptide derivatives were prepared in parallel using a conventional automated peptide synthesizer in multi-milligram quantities, which provided sufficient material to perform complete characterization, radiolabelling, and in vitro screening studies. Because of the robust nature of the metal–chelate complexes, the Re complex of a chelate–peptide conjugate was prepared on the resin using the same methodology employed to prepare the free ligand conjugates. As such, the reported methodology is amenable to the preparation of libraries of novel Tc radiopharmaceutical ligands and their corresponding Re reference standards in which several factors, including peptide sequence, site of derivatization, and both the type and length of the spacer, can be easily varied.Key words: radiopharmaceuticals, technetium, rhenium, peptides, solid-phase synthesis.
