Studies on trypsin inhibitors. Part I. Synthesis of protected peptides related to sequence 1-10 of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal).
The general strategy for the synthesis, by conventional procedures, of the entire sequence of porcine pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor II (Kazal) is discussed. The synthesis of two protected peptides corresponding to positions 2-10 and 1-10 of the proposed primary structure of the inhibitor is described. The heptapeptide free base threonyl-S-acetamidomethylcysteinylthreonylseryl-gamma-tert-butylglutamylvalylserine tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide (sequence 4-10) was acylated, by the azide procedure, with either the dipeptide benzyloxycarbonyl-gamma-tert-butylglutamylalanine hydrazide (sequence 2-3) or the tripeptide Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-Nomega-nitroarginylglutamylala-nine hydrazide (sequence 1-3). The stereochemical homogeneity of the resulting peptides, benzyloxycarbonyl-gamma-tert-butylglutamylalanylthreonyl-S-acetamidomethyl-cysteinylthreonylseryl-gamma-tert-butylglutamylvalylserine tert-butyloxycarbonylhydrazide and Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-Nomega-nitroarginylglutamylalanylthreonyl-S-acetamido-methylcysteinylthreonylseryl-gamma-tert-butylglutamylvalylserine tert-butyloxycarbonyl-hydrazide, was assessed, after partial deprotection with liquid hydrogen fluoride, by digestion with aminopeptidase M followed by quantitative amino acid analysis.
