Abstract
β-Benzylthiopropionyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteine azide was condensed with prolyl-α-amino-nitroguanidinopropionyl-glycine amides (L2; D2) to β-benzylthiopropionyl-tyrosyl-phenylalanyl-glutaminyl-asparaginyl-S-benzylcysteinyl-prolyl-α-amino-β-nitroguanidinopropionyl-glycine amides (L8; D8) which after removal of the protecting groups in liquid hydrogen fluoride, closure of the disulfide ring, desalting, and electrophoretic purification afforded [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-α-amino-β-guanidinopropionic acid]vasopressin (I) and [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-D-α-amino-β-guanidinopropionic acid]vasopressin (II). The antidiuretic effect of I (II) is about 10% of the effect of [1-β-mercaptopropionic acid, 8-D-arginine]vasopressin (DDAVP) (87 ± 8% DDAVP), the pressor effect is 49.5 I.U./mg (2.7 I.U./mg).
