Abstract: Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition or food composition for the treatment or prevention of hypertension, containing a peptide isolated from a fraction of a flounder surimi hydrolysate as an active ingredient and is based on the finding that the flounder surimi has an effect of reducing blood pressure, and the hydrolysate of the flounder surimi, the fraction of the hydrolysate of the flounder surimi and peptides isolated from the fraction of the hydrolysate of the flounder surimi have an inhibition activity against an angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE). Thus, peptides isolated from the fraction of the hydrolysate of the flounder surimi can be used for pharmaceutical compositions or food compositions for treating or preventing hypertension.

Abstract: Methods of producing a peptide containing an N-substituted amino acid or N-substituted amino acid analog of the present invention include the steps of: preparing an Fmoc-protected amino acid, an Fmoc-protected amino acid analog, or an Fmoc-protected peptide; deprotecting a protecting group which have an Fmoc skeleton of the Fmoc-protected amino acid and such by using a base; and forming an amide bond by adding a new Fmoc-protected amino acid and such; and when the peptide is produced by a solid-phase method, the obtained peptide is cleaved off from the solid phase under conditions of weaker acidity than TFA. Furthermore, at least one side chain of the obtained peptide has a protecting group that is not deprotected under basic conditions and is deprotected under conditions of weaker acidity than TFA.

Abstract: Provided is a novel method whereby an amide compound can be produced by highly stereoselectively and efficiently performing amidation between a plurality of amino acids and/or peptides. A compound of general formula (3) is synthesized by forming an amide bond between the carboxyl group on the right side of general formula (1) in a compound represented thereby and the amino group on the left side of general formula (2) in a compound represented thereby, in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst and a silylating agent [in formulae (1), (2) and (3), each symbol has the same meaning as defined in claims].
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing salicylamine acetate. The method comprises the steps of: (1) carrying out amino protection on salicylaldehyde having a structure represented by formula 1 to obtain a compound having a structure represented by formula 2; and (2) carrying out acid hydrolysis to the compound having a structure represented by formula 2 and then reacting the acid-hydrolyzed compound with acetic acid to obtain salicylamine acetate.
Abstract: A process for the preparation of amino alcohols includes condensing a compound of Formula (II), a stereoisomer, a tautomer, or a salt thereof with a compound of Formula (IIIa) or Formula (IIIb), a stereoisomer, a tautomer, or a salt thereof to form a condensation product; hydroxylating or acyloxylating the condensation product in the presence of an oxidant to obtain a hydroxylation or acyloxylation product; and subjecting the hydroxylation or acyloxylation product to one or more subsequent reactions comprising a hydrolysis reaction, alcohol deprotection, an amino lysis reaction, or a combination of two or more thereof to obtain an amino alcohol of Formula (I).
