The present invention relates to the preparation of insulinotropic peptides that are synthesized using a solid and solution phase (“hybrid”) approach. Generally, the approach includes synthesizing three different peptide intermediate fragments using solid phase chemistry. Solution phase chemistry is then used to add additional amino acid material to the third fragment which is then coupled to the second fragment and then the first fragment in solution. Alternatively, a different second fragment is coupled to the first fragment in the solid phase. Then, solution phase chemistry is then used to add additional amino acid material to a different third fragment. Subsequently, this different third fragment is coupled to the coupled first and different second fragment in the solution phase. The use of a pseudoproline in one of the fragments eases solid phase synthesis of that fragment and also eases subsequent solution phase coupling of this fragment to the other fragments. The present invention is very useful for forming insulinotropic peptides such as GLP-1(7-36) and its natural and non-natural counterparts.

胰岛素促分泌肽的制备。通常,该方法包括使用固相
化学合成三种不同的肽中间片段。然后,使用溶液相
化学将额外的
氨基酸材料添加到第三个片段中,然后在溶液中将第三个片段耦合到第二个片段,然后再将第一片段耦合到溶液中。或者,在固相中将不同的第二个片段耦合到第一片段。然后,使用溶液相
化学将额外的
氨基酸材料添加到不同的第三个片段中。随后,将这个不同的第三个片段耦合到耦合的第一个和不同的第二个片段中的溶液相中。在其中一个片段中使用假
丝氨酸可以减轻该片段的固相合成,并且还可以减轻该片段与其他片段的随后溶液相耦合。本发明非常有用,可用于形成
