English Abstract


Report of the invention
Analogues of 8-D-homoarginine vasopressin
Using a step-wise synthesis on solid phase, analogues of 8-D-homoarginine va-
sopressin were prepared with the general formula
<IMG>,
where X is L-O-methyltyrosine, L-p-ethylphenylalanine, D-p-ethylphenylalanine, L-p-
methylphenylalanine or D-methylphenylalanine and R is cysteine or ?-
mercaptopropionic acid. These vasopressin analogues exhibited an increased affinity to
uterus receptors for oxytocin where they acted as oxytocin antagonists. Moreover, the
analogues of deamino vasopressin have a significantly reduced antidiuretic activity in
comparison with [8-D-arginine]vasopressin.

The procedllre for joining the protected ~unino acid to the peptide chain being formed
on the carricr can be described as follows:
1. Cleavage of the Boc-group with 40 ml of S0% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in
dichloromethane containing 2% anisole, lasting 2 min, repeated again
after 30 min.
2. Rinsing with dichloromethane (3 x 40 ml, duration of each rinsing 30 sec).
3. Rinsing with 30% dioxane in dichloromethane (3 x 40 ml, each rinsing 30
sec).
4. Rinsing with dichloromethane (as in step 2).
5. Neutralization with 10% triethylarnine (40 n~) in dichloromethane (40 ml, 2
rnin cycle).
6. Rinsing with dichloromethane (2 x 40 ml, 30 sec cycle).
7. Neutralization with 40 ml of 10% triethylamine in 40 rnl dichloromethane (2
min cycle).
B. Rinsing with dichloromethane (6 x 40 ml, 30 sec cycle).
9. Additlon of the hydroxybezotriazole ester of the Boc-protected amino acid in
dichloromethane, until negative ninhydrin test is achieved (30 - 120 min).
10. Rinsing with 50% ethanol in dichloromethane (3 x 40 rnl, 30 sec cycle).
11. Rinsing with dichloromethane (3 x 15 ml, 1 rnin cycle).
Benzhydrylamine resin (4.46 g, 0.56 mmolg') was suspended in dichloromethane andafter rinsing with 5% triethylamine in dichloromethane and dimethylformamide, rnixed
with 3 molar excess of Boc-Gly-OBt. The reaction was intelrupted after 30 min and the
resin was rinsed subsequently with dimethylformamide (3 x 20 ml) and dichloromethane
(3 x 20 ml). Then, the psocedure described in Exarnple 4 was applied. Boc- aminoacids in the form of active esters (in 3 molar excess) were coupled to the amino groups
of the bound amino acid in the following sequence: Boc-D-Har(NO2)-OH, Boc-Pro-OH,
Boc-Cys(4-Me-Bzl)-OH, Boc-Asn-OH, Boc-Gln-OH and Boc-Phe-OH. A catalyst (4-
dimethylaminopyridine, 50 mg) was added to accelerate the coupling of homoarginine,
cysteine and phenylalanine.

The biologi.oal ~ctivity of the peptide~ wa~ te~ted
on rats namely: the uterotonic activity (agon~ stlc and
Qntagonistic) according to the Holton'~ method (Holton,J.:
~rit,J.Pharmacol., 3, 328, 1960) modified by Munsick(En-
docrinology, 66S 451, 1960~, the in}~bitory activitg being
expre~sed as PA2 (Eggen et al.: J~Gen.Phy~iol,, 56, ~50,
1970), the pre~oric activity was determlned on de~pinali-
zed male rats ac¢ording to Krejci et al.(Brit.J.Pharm,~he-
mother., 30, 497, 1967) and the antidiuretic activity

Example 1
Preparation of [ 1 -mercaptopropionic acid, 2-O-methyltyrosirle R-I)-
homoar~inine]vasopressin (compound o the formula VI),
Boc-Tyr(Me)OH and Mpr(Bzl)OH were coupled to the resin with the bound
heptapetide (0.91 g, 0.33 mmol). The resin with the bound nonapeptide (1 g ) wassubn~itted to the action of liquid hydrogen fluoride (10 ml, 60 min, 0C) in the presence
of anisole ~l.S rnl). The hydrogen fluoride was then removed with nitrogen at 0C (in
the course of 30 min). The mixture of the free nonapetide and the resin was shaken
wi~h ether, filtered off and rinsed with ethylacetate. The free peptide was then dissolved
in 20% acetic acid (100 ml) at 40C, diluted with water and the solution was
Iyophiliæd. The Iyophilized product was dissolved in water (300 ml) and the pH of the
solution was adjusted to 7Ø Kalium ferricyanide (0.01 moll-' was added to the solution
until the colour remained yellow. When the oxidation was terrninated (after 30 min),
the pH was adjusted to 4.5 with acetic acid. The solution was applied to a column with
Amberlite CG-SOI and, after rinsing with 0.25% acetic acid ~150 ml), the product was
eluted with 50% acetic acid (60 rnl), Iyophilized (47 mg) and purified by means of
HPLC to afford 9 mg of the peptide.

the forrmula IV)
The resin with the bound heptapeptide (3.4 g, 0.96 mmol ) ` was
treated according to the scheme described.. With 1.1 equivalent of Boc-
L,D-Phe(p-Me)-OH for 18 h and with further 0.5 equivalent for 4 h. Then the arnino

was treated then according to the procedure described in Exarnple 5~ Elution with 50%
acetic acid from the column with Amberlite CG-50I affor~ed 614 mg of the crude
product which was Iyophili~ed and purified funher by means of HPLC on a co1urnn
