title: Properties of substance P aggregates. Application to the synthesis and purification of substance P.
abstract: By 1H-NMR spectroscopy it has been shown that Substance P is largely aggregated at basic and acid pH and in saline solutions. These SP polymers dissociate rapidly by addition of pyridine and acetonitrile and slowly by addition of methanol. The difficulties previously encountered in the purification of SP and SP analogs may be attributed to this aggregation and can be overcome under disaggregating conditions. As a first application of our study we propose a reliable method for obtaining SP with good yield.
