Boc-Ser-Val-Gly-OCH2Ph (31) showed high gelation abilities in the aromatic solvents, particularly in toluene. The minimum gelation concentration of 31 in toluene was 10 mg/ml, suggesting that 2500 molecules of toluene were immobilized by each molecule of the tripeptide 31. The FT-IR data indicated that formation of antiparallel β-sheets through intermolecular hydrogen bonding was central to the generation of nanofibers during gelation.

A four step synthesis of 4(S)-oxazolidineacetic acid, 2-oxo benzyl ester (D-Oxac-OBn) from L-Asp-OH in 45% overall yield is reported. The formation of by-products is completely avoided, by microwave irradiation and by the use of caesium carbonate as base. Moreover the synthesis and IR and 1H NMR conformational analysis of the tetramers Boc-L-Val-D-Oxac-L-Ala-OBn and Boc-L-Val-D-Oxac-Aib-L-Ala-OBn in solution is reported.
The liquid-phase synthesis and the conformational analysis of a small library of fully protected tetramers containing L-pyroglutamic acid (L-pGlu), (4S,5R)-4-methyl-5-carboxybenzyloxazolidin-2-one (L-Oxd), or (4R,5S)-4-methyl-5-carboxybenzyloxazolidin-2-one (D-Oxd) as residue i + 1 are reported to test the tendency of these oligomers to assume beta-hairpin conformation. The most promising molecule is BOC-L-Val-D-Oxd-Gly-L-Ala-OBn, which assumes a preferential beta-turn conformation in CDCl3, as shown by IR and H-1 NMR analysis. These findings have been confirmed by DFT calculations, which provide an interpretation for the available experimental data and agree with the reported observations.

Studies on peptides. CXIX. Synthesis of growth hormone releasing factor (hpGRF-40-OH).
The tetracontapeptide corresponding to the entrie amino acid sequence of growth hormone releasing factor (hpGRF-40-OH) was synthesized by fragment condensation in solution, followed by deprotection with 1M trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-thioanisole in trifluoroacetic acid. In in vivo assay, synthetic hpGRF-40-OH was as active as synthetic hpGRF-44-NH2, but in in vitro assay, the potency of synthetic hpGRF-40-OH was only 36% of that of synthetic hpGRF-44-NH2.
