Problems solved by technology

[0003] The cyclic peptide structure of bremelanotide makes its preparation difficult. Currently, the synthesis technology of bremelanotide can be divided into two categories according to the cyclization method. One is liquid phase cyclization, but it is easy to produce a large number of molecules in the liquid phase. Inter-coupling products produce polymers such as dimers and trimers, resulting in low synthesis yield and low purity. In order to suppress the occurrence of side reactions, it is necessary to reduce the reaction concentration, but this will generate a large amount of waste water. It is beneficial to environmental protection; the other is solid-phase cyclization. In the process of solid-phase cyclization, the peptide chain is difficult to fold to end-to-end due to too much steric hindrance, which leads to difficulty in cyclization and low synthesis efficiency.
[0004] Due to problems such as low synthesis yield and difficult purification in the synthesis process of bremelanotide, the application of bremelanotide is severely limited

Abstract

The invention provides a synthesis method of bremelanotide acetate, and belongs to the technical field of preparation methods of polypeptides. The method particularly comprises the following steps: by adopting an Fmoc solid-phase polypeptide synthesis method, by using RinkAmide resin as a carrier, performing modifying with 4-trifluoromethyl mandelic acid, and according to a polypeptide sequence of the bremelanotide acetate under the action of a coupling agent, sequentially condensing amino acids with an Fmoc-protecting group from a C end to an N end to obtain linear peptide resin; and sequentially removing side chain protecting agents such as the Fmoc protecting group, Lys and Asp, then forming a ring on the resin under the action of the coupling agent, splitting the resin by using a splitting agent, breaking an ester bond under an alkaline condition to obtain crude bremelanotide, and finally, performing purifying to obtain refined bremelanotide. The method is simple, and the obtained bremelanotide acetate is high in yield and high in purification efficiency.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polypeptide preparation, and in particular relates to a synthesis method of bremelanotide acetate. Background technique [0002] Bremelanotide, also known as bremelanotide, is an alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone analog with a cyclic heptapeptide structure. Bremelanotide is a drug for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction. The mechanism of action is to regulate sexual desire and sexual response by activating endogenous pathways in the brain, helping premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder to maintain normal libido . Bremelanotide has completed Phase III clinical research and has broad market prospects. [0003] The cyclic peptide structure of bremelanotide makes its preparation difficult. Currently, the synthesis technology of bremelanotide can be divided into two categories according to the cyclization method. One is liquid phase cyclization, but it is easy to produce a large...
