Department of Chemistry, Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 Received May 28, 1985; Revised Manuscript Received October 18, 1985 abstract: Our attemptsto develop adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) analogues that can be employed for ACTH receptor identification and isolation began with the synthesis of ACTH fragments containing 7Ve-(dethiobiotinyl) lysine (dethiobiocytin) amide in position 25 to be used for affinity chromatographic purification of hormone-receptor complexes on Sepharose-immobilized avidin resins. Because labeling ACTH or ACTH fragments by conventional iodination techniques destroys biological activity due to oxidation of Met4 and incorporation of iodine into Tyr2, we have prepared [Phe2, Nle4] ACTH1_24,[Phe2, Nle4, biocy-tin25] ACTH! _25 amide, and [Phe2, Nle4, dethiobiocytin25] ACTH^ s amide by conventional synthetic techniques.The HPLC profiles and amino acid analyses of the final products indicatethat the materials are of a high degree of purity. The amount of tertiary butylation of the Trp residue in the peptides was assessed by NMR and was found to be less than 0.5%. All three peptides are equipotent with the standard ACTH^ as concerns their ability to stimulate steroidogenesis and cAMP formation in bovine adrenal cortical cells. Iodination of [Phe2, Nle4] ACTH! _24, with iodogen as the oxidizing agent, has been accomplished without any detectable loss of biological activity. The mono-and diiodo derivatives of [Phe2, Nle4] ACTH! _24 havebeen prepared, separated by HPLC, and assayed for biological activity. Both peptides have the full capacity to stimulate steroidogenesis and cAMP production in bovine adrenal cortical cells.
