ABSTRACT:
The human calcitonin peptide chain was assembled using Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis chem. The combinations of cleavage Reagent H (TFA 81%, phenol 5%, thioanisole 5%, ethanedithiol 2.5%, dimethylsulfide 2%, water 3%, ammonium iodide 1.5 %) with trans-[Pt(en)2Cl2]2+ and Reagents B (TFA 88%, phenol 5%, triisopropylsilane 2%,and water 5%), K (TFA 82.5%, phenol 5%, thioanisole 5%, ethanedithiol 2.5%, and water 5%), and R (TFA 90%, thioanisole 5%, ethanedithiol 3%, anisole 2%) with trans-[Pt(CN)4Cl2]2- provide convenient methods for the synthesis of human calcitonin and its methionine sulfoxide deriv.; the formation of intramol. disulfide bonds by the above Pt(IV) oxidants is essentially quant.
