Synthesis of tritium-labeled Semax

Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The tert-butyloxycarbonyl derivative of Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly was prepared and condensed with either unsaturated or labeled proline. The unsaturated peptide protected by the tert-butyloxycarbonyl group was hydrogenated with gaseous tritium in the presence of a catalyst. The Semax analog labeled in the proline fragment was deprotected by acid hydrolysis. The molar radioactivity of the product (PBq mol−1) reached 0.93 in the route via labeled proline and 0.37 in the route via unsaturated Semax analog.
