Abstract
L-Phenylalanine has been treated with chlorosulfonic acid and the product was either hydrolyzed, ammonolyzed or reduced. The resulting sulfonic-acid and aminosulfonyl derivatives have been employed for peptide synthesis with Boc-protection of the Nα-position only. The reduction product L-(4′-SH)Phe has been protected by formation of asymmetric disulfides or with various thiol protecting groups (benzyl-, methyl- and acetamidomethyl groups, the latter being the most suitable for peptide synthesis). With these protected amino acids several analogues of angiotensin II have been synthesized by the solid-phase method. These analogues have been used for structure-activity relationship studies on three different bioassays.
