  • Peptide derivatives
    Patent number: 5656721
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sugar derivative of a biologically active peptide, which derivative has a prolonged duration of action when compared to the non-sugar modified peptide, and contains at least on one of the amino acid units a sugar residue which is attached to an amino group thereof by a coupling other than a direct N-glycosidic bond, and additionally, when it is a condensation product of a carboxyl group containing sugar and a peptide with less than 8 amino acid units, by a coupling other than a direct amide bond.
    Type: Grant

  • Resin-linker combination for the solid-phase synthesis of peptides and intermediates
    Patent number: 4914151
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel polymeric carrier, a process for its production and its use for the preparation of peptides and their intermediates. The process comprises reacting chloromethylated polystyrene (cross-linked with divinylbenzene) with a 4-hydroxy-2-substituted-benzyl alcohol (linker), attaching .alpha.-amino acids with amino and side-chain protection to the carrier thus obtained, and building up a peptide according to the method known in the field of solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). The method allows removal of intermediates or final products under extremely mild acidic conditions giving products in high state of purity and yield. The 2-substituent consists of an electron donating group, such as methoxy.
