Synthesis of [D‐alanine1, 4′‐azido‐3′, 5′‐ditritio‐L‐phenylalanine2, norvaline4]α‐melanotropin as a ‘photoaffinity probe’ for hormone‐receptor interactions.The synthesis of an α‐MSH derivative containing 4′‐azido‐3′,5′‐ditritio‐L‐phenylalanine is described: Ac · D‐Ala‐Pap(3H2)‐Ser‐Nva‐Glu‐His‐Phe‐Arg‐Trp‐Gly‐Lys‐Pro‐Val · NH2. This hormone analogue is being used for specific photoaffinity labelling of receptor molecules. The synthesis was performed in a way to minimize the number of radioactive steps and to introduce the radio‐active and the photoaffinity label exclusively into position 2. The dipeptide N(α)‐acetyl‐D‐alanyl‐ (4′‐amino‐3′,5′‐diiodo)‐L‐phenylalanine was tritriated and transformed into the azido compound, N(α)‐acetyl‐D‐alanyl‐(4′‐azido‐3′,5′‐ditritio)‐L‐phenylalanine which was then condensed with H · Ser‐Nva‐Glu(OtBu)‐His‐Phe‐Arg‐Trp‐Gly‐Lys(BOC)‐Pro‐Val · NH2 to the tridecapeptide. The α‐MSH analog displayed a specific activity of 11 Ci/mmol, and a biological activity of about 4 · 109 U/mmol (10% of α‐MSH).
