Abstract:
Novel peptides of ACTH activity, having a complete ACTH sequence from the N-terminal amino acid at least to the sixteenth amino acid, but containing optionally other amino acids in the place of the individual amino acids of the ACTH sequence, and always containing an Alpha -aminooxy acid in the place of the first amino acid have been prepared by deblocking the appropriate protected peptide derivatives. The new compounds, as well as their acid addition salts, derivatives or complexes possess potent ACTH activities and are resistant to enzymatic decomposition. They can be used in therapy with great advantages.
Abstract:
Novel peptides of ACTH activities having a complete ACTH sequence from the N-terminal amino acid at least to the 17th but at most to the 19th amino acid, but containing optionally other amino acids in the place of the individual amino acids of the ACTH sequence, and always containing an Alpha -aminooxy acid in the place of the first and the last amino acids have been prepared by deblocking the appropriate protected peptide derivatives. The new compounds, as well as their acid addition salts, derivatives or complexes possess potent ACTH activities and can be used in the therapy with great advantages.
