An improved synthesis of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH), pGlu-His-Pro-NH 2, is reported. Z-pGlu-ONB (N-hydroxy-5-norbornene-2, 3-dicarboximide ester) was reacted with H-His-OH to yield a crystalline Z-pGlu-His-OH which was coupled with H-Pro-NH 2 by the HONB DCC method to give Z-pGlu-His-Pro-NH 2 as a fine crystal. Hydrogenation of this protected tripeptide yielded pure TRH nearly quantitatively. The optical purity of TRH thus obtained was confirmed by the method L-and D-amino acid oxidase digestion. The crystallization of TRH was achieved as a tartrate, and the properties of the crystalline TRH-tartrate are described.
