    • [4-Threonine, 7-glycine]oxytocin and [1-(L-2-hydroxy-3-mercaptopropanoic acid), 4-threonine, 7-glycine]oxytocin (hydroxy[Thr4, Gly7]oxytocin) were synthesized by a combination of solid-phase and classical methods of peptide synthesis. A protected octapeptide was synthesized by the solid-phase method and following ammonolysis and purification 1 + 8 couplings in solution were employed to furnish the required key nonapeptide and acyl octapeptide intermediates, respectively. [7-Glycine]oxytocin was… CONTINUE READING
