A process for preparing C-terminally amidated peptides, Peptide-NH.sub.2, is presented. In a first step, a substrate component is reacted with a nucleophile component in the presence of trypsin or a carboxypeptidase using as nucleophile a compound NH.sub.2 -R to form a first reaction product Peptide-NH-R. In a second step, the first reaction product is non-enzymatically chemically cleaved to form the C-terminally amidated product, Peptide-NH.sub.2. The substrate component is selected from a) peptide derivatives Peptide-X-Y, where X is an amino acid or peptide residue and Y is OH, OMe or C-terminal modification and c) C-terminally esterified peptides, Peptide-OR', where R' is alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or aralkyl. The nucleophile component is selected from ##STR1## wherein A-F and A'-E' are carbon atoms or up to two hetero atoms, Y is H, alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, oxo or carboxy, X.sup.1 -X.sup.5 are H or various substituents. The cleavage may be induced by photolysis, solvolysis, reduction, rearrangement elimination, or oxidation. The process may be adapted to enzymatic synthesis and lends itself to C-terminal amidation of many types of peptides.
提供了一种制备C-末端酰胺化肽(Peptide-NH.sub.2)的方法。在第一步中,底物组分与核苷酸组分在胰蛋白酶或羧肽酶的存在下反应,使用化合物NH.sub.2-R作为核苷酸,形成第一反应产物Peptide-NH-R。在第二步中,第一反应产物通过非酶化学裂解形成C-末端酰胺化产物Peptide-NH.sub.2。底物组分可从a)肽衍生物Peptide-X-Y中选择,其中X是氨基酸或肽残基,Y是OH,OMe或C-末端修饰,以及c)末端酯化肽Peptide-OR',其中R'是烷基,芳基,杂芳基或芳基烷基。核苷酸组分可从##STR1##中选择,其中A-F和A'-E'是碳原子或多达两个杂原子,Y是H,烷基,芳基,芳基烷基,氧代或羧基,X.sup.1 -X.sup.5是H或各种取代基。裂解可以通过光解,溶剂裂解,还原,重排消除或氧化诱导。该过程可适应于酶促合成,并适用于许多类型的肽的C末端酰胺化。
