dc.description.abstract | Mesotocin, a nonapeptide amide, was synthesised on a benzhydryl-resin using the Boc-strategy. Benzyl group was use~ in the
protection of the side-chains of tyrosine and cysteine. Tetralinyl and benzhydryl groups were used to protect asparagtne and
glutamine side-chains respectively. TFMSA-TFA-thioanisole-I,2-ethanedithiol (2:20:2: I v/v) was used on the peptide-resin un~er
different cleavage conditions to obtain mesotocin in a one-pot reaction. The cleavage at 40 'Cfor two hours gave crude mesotocm,
which onpurification by semi-preparative HPLC gave ayield of 49 %. | en |
