Synthesis of thyrotropin-releasing hormone-related peptides using N alpha-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-omega-(N-tert-butyloxycarbonylcarbamoyl)- alpha-amino acids.
Application of N alpha,Nca-di-tert-butyloxycarbonylhomoglutamine to synthesis of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogs was examined. The delta-lactam formation from homoglutaminylpeptides took place more easily than gamma-lactam formation from glutaminylpeptides in water or dioxane containing acetic acid. [pHgu1,Nva2]-TRH had dose-dependent antagonistic activity against pentobarbital anesthesia in mice, but almost no binding activity to TRH receptor in rat brain.
