title: Purification of a synthetic myristylated peptide by counter-current chromatography.
abstract: A preparative purification of myristyl-Gly-Asn-Ile-Phe-Ala-Asn-Leu-Phe-Lys-Gly-Leu-Phe-Gly-Lys-Lys-Glu -NH2 was accomplished using the multi-coil counter-current chromatograph. A partition coefficient was determined in the n-butanol-acetic acid-water (4:1:5) system. Chromatographic runs were made in this system and one modified with ethyl acetate. The peptide material showed anomalous elution behavior due to its surfactant properties. It was found that by loading the sample exclusively in the stationary phase, satisfactory retention of the compound occurred. Finally, conditions utilizing the upper phase as the mobile phase successfully separated the impurities.
