We have replaced the Ac-Ser residue of bovine thymosin α1 (position 1) with Ser in order to examine the resulting change in immunological effect on the low resette-forming capacity with sheep erythrocytes of cells from a lipoid nephrosis patient. The deacetyl-thymosin α1 was synthesized by the solution method. For the synthesis of the protected octaeicosapeptide, five peptide fragments were prepared by the stepwise elongation method with N-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1, 2-dihydroquinoline as a coupling reagent. The condensations of the fragments were achieved by Rudinger's azide procedure. Finally, all protecting groups were removed by HF treatment followed by catalytic hydrogenation. The in vitro addition of the synthetic deacetyl-thymosin α1 at a dose of 100 μg/ml was able to restore the rosette-forming capaoity with sheep erythrocytes of lipoid nephrosis cells to normal levels. Our preparations of deacetyl-thymosin α1 and thymosin α1 were found to be equally active in cases of lipoid nephrosis.
我们用 Ser 取代了牛胸腺肽 α1(第 1 位)的 Ac-Ser 残基,以研究由此产生的免疫学效应变化对类脂肾病患者细胞与绵羊红细胞的低重影形成能力的影响。脱乙酰胸腺肽α1是用溶液法合成的。在合成受保护的八胜肽时,使用 N-乙氧羰基-2-乙氧基-1,2-二氢喹啉作为偶联试剂,通过分步延伸法制备了五个肽段。片段的缩合是通过鲁丁格叠氮程序实现的。最后,通过 HF 处理去除所有保护基团,然后进行催化加氢。在体外添加剂量为 100 μg/ml 的合成脱乙酰胸腺肽 α1,可使类脂肾细胞的绵羊红细胞形成莲座的能力恢复到正常水平。我们制备的脱乙酰胸腺肽α1和胸腺肽α1在类脂性肾病病例中具有同样的活性。
