A recent report from our laboratories describes the preparation and biological properties of the highly potent cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin analogue 1. Herein we report the details of the large-scale synthesis of 1 developed to provide supplies for clinical study. The synthesis was accomplished entirely via solution chemistry, by stepwise elongation of the amino acid chain, starting from tyrosine methyl ester. Use of the mixed anhydride procedure allowed coupling without the need for protection of the tyrosine hydroxyl. Several intermediates were purified by crystallization, including the protected hexapeptide 10. Cyclization was achieved in high yield employing an improved technique using diphenylphosphoryl azide, with sodium bicarbonate as base. Only a single chromatographic procedure was required, at the stage of the penultimate cyclic peptide 12. Using this synthetic route we have been able to prepare> 99% pure final product 1 in batches of 40-50 g. Yields based on each of the constituent residues ranged from 17%(Boc-alanine) to 52%(Boc-D-tryptophan). The process serves as an example of the kinds of considerations important for rapid and efficient large-scale synthesis of peptides.
