  • Liquid phase process for the preparation of GNRH peptides
    Patent number: 6235876
    Abstract: A liquid phase process for preparing GnRH peptide analogs of the formula: G-AA1-(A)D-Phe-AA3-AA4-(R2-AA5-AA6-AA7-AA8-Pro-AA10-NH2   Formula 1 which comprises: (a) reacting a peptide of the formula: T-(R2)AA5-AA6-X  where T is (P2) AA4 orP2 and X is AA7-OH or is —OH, with a peptide of the formula: X′-AA8-Pro-AA10-NH2  or acid-addition salt form thereof, where X′ is AA7 when X is absent and X′ is absent when X is AA7-OH;  in a liquid reaction medium in the presence of a peptide coupling reagent and a strong organic amine base to obtain a product of the formula: T-(R2)AA5-AA6-AA7-AA8-Pro-AA10-NH2 (b) removing the P2 protecting group at the N-terminus, and (c) reacting the product of step (b) or an acid addition salt thereof, with a peptide of the formula: G-AA1-(R1)D-Phe-AA3-T′  or acid-addition salt form thereof, where T′ is AA4-OH when T is absent and is absent when T is P2-AA4, in a liquid reaction medium to obtain a GnRH pepti
