Abstract |
Dermorphin (Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2) is highly selective, μ-opioid receptor ligand. The synthesis, biological activity and conformations of several side-chain to side-chain cyclized dermorphin analogues, containing a carbonyl bridge, has been previously described [1, 2, 3]. The object of this study, ureidopeptide UP-1, also belongs to the mentioned group, however - in comparison with the described series of analogues - posses some new modification of the N-terminal segment. Developed synthetic process led to peptide UP-1 having a good HPLC purity (above 96%, after purification by semi-preparative HPLC). Unfortunately, the overall yield of the synthesis was wery low. One of the possible reason is forming some unknown by-products. In crude ureidopeptide several impurities were detected by HPLC-UV and attempts to make structural assignment of these compounds by HPLC-MS-MS were the main goal of this work. Two impurities were isolated by semi-preparative reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Based on mass spectrometric data and synthetic specifics the structure of one impurity was confirmed. Founded on HPLC-MS-MS analysis the potential structures of the others process-related by-products were also proposed. REFERENCES: |
