title: Synthesis of A7,B7-dicarbainsulin, an analogue with a noncleavable bond between A- and B-chain. II. Synthesis of the A-chain segments.
abstract: As part of the total synthesis of [A7,B7-L,L-2,7-diaminosuberoyl]-des-(B26-B30)-insulin B25-amide, an insulin analogue containing a non-cleavable bond between A- and B-chain, the chemical synthesis of the A-chain segments is described. The N-terminal sequence A(1-6), Boc-Gly-Ile-Val-Glu(OBut)-Gln-Cys(SBut)-NH-NH2, was synthesized in solution. The middle segment A(8-16), Ddz-Thr(But)-Ser(But)-Ile-Cys(SBut)-Ser(But)-Leu-Tyr- (But)-Gln-Leu-NH-NH2, was obtained by solid phase synthesis according to the Fmoc strategy. The C-terminal segment A(17-21), Bpoc-Glu(OBut)-Asn-Tyr-Cys(Acm)-Asn-OBut, was prepared in solution.
