  • Publication number: 20210330802
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising an antibody and a drug linked to each other via a linker. The present invention provides a method for producing, for example, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) comprising an antibody and a drug linked to each other via a linker, or a pharmaceutical comprising the ADC, the method comprising mixing, using a microreactor, a solution comprising tricarboxyethyl phosphine (TCEP) and an IgG antibody under reduction reaction with TCEP, with a solution comprising a stoichiometrically excessive amount of an inhibitor of TCEP based on TCEP.

  • Patent number: 6838259
    Abstract: A KiSS-1 peptide or a salt thereof can be produced in a large scale by subjecting a fusion protein or peptide in which a KiSS-1 peptide is ligated to the N-terminal of a protein or peptide having cysteine at the N-terminal, to the reaction of cleaving the peptide bond on the amino acid side of the cysteine residue.

  • Patent number: 6774221
    Abstract: A method for removing from a peptide the diketone of the methionine residue, and a method for manufacturing a peptide or salt thereof which does not possess an N-terminal methionine residue, characterized by having a peptide or salt thereof which possesses a diketone of the optionally oxidized N-terminal methionine residue react with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid or a salt thereof in the presence of acetic acid and sodium formate, formic acid and sodium formate, or formic acid and sodium acetate.

  • Publication number: 20040029215
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an advantageous method of industrially producing RFamide peptides in a large scale. The present invention provides the method of producing RFamide peptides, which comprises subjecting a fusion protein or peptide, in which an RFamide peptide is ligated to the N-terminal of a protein or peptide having a cysteine at the N-terminal, to the reaction for cleavage of a peptide bond on the amino acid side of the cysteine residue.

  • Patent number: 6309859
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for chemically removing a N-terminal methionine residue selectively, specifically and efficiently from a peptide or a salt thereof having an optionally oxidized methinine residue at its N-terminal. The method reacts a peptide or a salt thereof having an optionally oxidized methinine residue at its N-terminal with an &agr;-diketone derivative, followed by hydrolysis.
