Seven peptide fragments were synthesized by known amide-forming reactions as building blocks for the solution-phase synthesis of the heptatriacontapeptide amide corresponding to the entire amino acid sequence of human calcitonin gene-related peptide (hCGRP). S-1-Adamantyl-cysteine [O. Nishimura, C. Kitada, and M. Fujino, Chem. Pharm. Bull., 26, 1576 (1978)] was employed, together with amino acid derivatives bearing protecting groups removable by 1 M trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-thioanisole in trifluoroacetic acid.
