Problems solved by technology

Elevated growth hormone levels in animals have been shown to result in increased lean muscle mass.
A primary obstacle to the use of GRF as a direct supplement is its short lifespan in vivo.
These peptides, while considerably smaller than growth hormones are still susceptible to metabolic instability.

EXAMPLE 1A

preparation 1a

[0112]

[0113] To a solution of tert-butyloxycarbonyl-O-benzyl (boc-OBz)-D-Ser-OH (25.0 g, 84.7 mmol), while stirring in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (500 mL) at room temperature, was added sodium bicarbonate (14.2 g, 169 mmol) followed by methyl iodide (26.4 mL, 424 mmol). After 18 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated to approximately 100 mL. Ethyl acetate was added and the mixture washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and brine. The organic extract was dried and concentrated to give the above-identified product (25 g, 96%) as a light yellow oil: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) d 1.45 (s, 9H), 3.70 (m, 1H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 3.85 (m, 1H), 4.50 (m, 3H), 7.30 (m, 5H); MS (FD) m / e 310; Anal. calc'd for C16H23NO5: C, 62.12; H, 7.49; N, 4.53. Found: C, 62.31; H, 7.49; N, 4.43.

[0114]

[0115] To a solution of a compound of Preparation 1A (5.0 g, 16 mmol), stirring in dichloromethane (25 mL) [or 40 mL?] and anisole (1 mL) at 0° C. was added trifluoroacetic acid. After 4 hours a...

[0118]

[0119] To a solution of a compound of Preparation 1C (5.30 g, 13.4), stirring in dioxane (100 mL) / water (50 mL) at room temperature was added lithium hydroxide (2.80 g, 67.3 mmol). After 18 hours, water was added and the solution concentrated. The resulting mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. Sodium chloride was added to the aqueous layer and the pH adjusted to 3.5 with 1 N HCl. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic extracts dried over sodium sulfate then concentrated to yield the above-identified product (4.40 g, 86%) as a white foam: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) d 1.39 (s, 9H), 1.45 (s, 3H), 1.47 (s, 3H), 3.68 (m, 1H), 3.95 (m, 1H), 4.54 (s, 2H), 4.70 (m, 1H), 5.51 (bs, 1H), 7.18 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (m, 5H), 9.90 (bs, 1H); MS (FD) m / e 381; Anal. calc'd for C19H28N2O6: C, 59.99; H, 7.42; N, 7.36. Found: C, 59.74; H, 7.26; N, 7.30.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] Growth hormone is a secretory protein of the pituitary gland of animals having wide ranging developmental effects on the organism. Artificial manipulation of growth hormone levels has been demonstrated to have significant therapeutic utility. Human growth hormone supplementation has been shown to be an effective treatment for growth hormone deficiencies and their related disease states in humans. Apart from this application, studies have uncovered new and significant properties of growth hormone which lend further importance to the ability to control growth hormone levels. For example, recent clinical studies indicate that growth hormone supplementation may be useful in combating the maladies of aging in humans. Elevated growth hormone levels in animals have been shown to result in increased lean muscle mass. One application of this latter observation could result in higher production of leaner meat products or in the production of larger and / or st...
