The acid hydrolysis of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) (pGlu-His-Pro-NH2) in various acids under several conditions and the highly selective cleavage of the pGlu-His bond are described. First, the decomposition of TRH in dilute acid was studied. The incubation of TRH in 1 N HCl at 60°C resulted in the formation of eleven hydrolysates, H-Glu-His-Pro-NH2, H-Glu-His-Pro-OH, H-His-Pro-NH2, H-His-Pro-OH, His-Pro diketopiperazine, pGlu-His-Pro-OH, pGlu-His-OH, H-Glu-His-OH, H-Pro-His-OH, pGlu-OH and H-Glu-OH. The results showed that the pGlu-His linkage and pGlu moiety were more sensitive than the C-terminal carboxamide to the acid hydrolysis. Then, a simple means of deblocking pGlu-peptide was applied to TRH. The hydrolysis of TRH in 70% methanesulfonic acid (MSA) at 25°C produced H-His-Pro-NH2 and H-His-Pro-OH as major products, and H-Glu-His-Pro-NH2, the diketopiperazine and pGlu-His-Pro-OH as minor products. The 90% MSA hydrolysis at 25°C was highly selective for the cleavage product (H-His-Pro-NH2) of the pGlu-His bond, without affording the ring-opened products (H-Glu-His-Pro-NH2 and H-Glu-His-Pro-OH). The yield of deamidated products (H-His-Pro-OH and pGlu-His-Pro-OH) was less than 3% after 3 d.
本文描述了促甲状腺激素释放激素(TRH)(pGlu-His-Pro-NH2)在多种条件下在各种酸中的酸水解以及 pGlu-His 键的高选择性裂解。首先,研究了 TRH 在稀酸中的分解。将 TRH 在 60°C 的 1 N HCl 中培养,形成了 11 种水解产物:H-Glu-His-Pro-NH2、H-Glu-His-Pro-OH、H-His-Pro-NH2、H-His-Pro-OH、His-Pro diketopiperazine、pGlu-His-Pro-OH、pGlu-His-OH、H-Glu-His-OH、H-Pro-His-OH、pGlu-OH 和 H-Glu-OH。结果表明,pGlu-His 连接和 pGlu 分子比 C 端羧酰胺对酸水解更敏感。随后,一种简单的解锁 pGlu 肽的方法被应用于 TRH。TRH 在 25°C 下于 70% 的甲磺酸(MSA)中水解,主要产物为 H-His-Pro-NH2 和 H-His-Pro-OH,次要产物为 H-Glu-His-Pro-NH2、二酮哌嗪和 pGlu-His-Pro-OH。在 25°C 条件下进行的 90% MSA 水解对 pGlu-His 键的裂解产物(H-His-Pro-NH2)具有高度选择性,而不会产生开环产物(H-Glu-His-Pro-NH2 和 H-Glu-His-Pro-OH)。3 天后,脱酰胺产物(H-His-Pro-OH 和 pGlu-His-Pro-OH)的产量低于 3%。
