Solid phase synthesis methodology on a benzhydrylamine resin was used for the synthesis of three analogues of vasopressin with the non-coded amino acid, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Tic), in the position 2 ([Tic2, Lys8]VP (I)) and in the position 3 ([Tic3, Lys8]VP (II)). The analogue containing only one Tic in place of both aromatic residues was also isolated (des-Tyr2-[Tic3, Lys8]VP (III)). The biological activities of all analogues were negligible.

[8-Neopentylglycine]oxytocin (II) and [8-cycloleucine]oxytocin (III) were prepared by a combination of solid-phase synthesis and fragment condensation. Both analogues exhibited decreased uterotonic potency in vitro, each being about 15-30% that of oxytocin. Analogue II also displayed similarly decreased uterotonic potency in vivo and galactogogic potency. On the other hand, analogue III exhibited almost the same potency as oxytocin in the uterotonic assay in vivo and in the galactogogic assay.

An analysis of the uterotonic potencies of all analogs having substituted L- or D-tyrosine or -phenylalanine in position 2 and L-arginine, D-arginine or D-homoarginine in position 8 was made. The series of analogs already published was completed by the solid phase synthesis of ten new analogs having L- or D-Phe, L- or D-Phe(2-Et), L- or D-Phe(2,4,6-triMe) or D-Tyr(Me) in position 2 and either L- or D-arginine in position 8. All newly synthesized analogs were found to be uterotonic inhibitors. Deamination increases both the agonistic and antagonistic potency. In the case of phenylalanine analogs the change of configuration from L to D in position 2 enhances the uterotonic inhibition for more than 1 order of magnitude. The L to D change in position 8 enhances the inhibitory potency negligibly. Prolongation of the side chain of the D-basic amino acid in position 8 seems to decrease slightly the inhibitory potency if there is L-substituted amino acid in position 2. On the other hand there is a tendency to the increase of the inhibitory potency if there is D-substituted amino acid in position 2.

Using solution or solid-phase synthesis we prepared the cholecystokinin fragment Boc-CCK-7 (Boc-Tyr-(SO3-.Na+)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-PheNH2) and its four analogues in which the methionine moiety (Met) in the carboxy-terminal part is replaced by tert-leucine (Tle) or neopentylglycine (Neo) residue or D-enantiomers of these non-coded amino acids. These structural modifications led to reduction of the studied biological activities (gall bladder contraction, anorectic activity, analgetic and sedation activity) of all prepared analogues except Boc[Neo5]-CCK-7 which, being less analgetically active, retains full gall bladder and sedation activity of CCK-8. Moreover, its anorectic activity is substantially higher (400%). This analogue is very interesting particularly for its selectively increased (4x) anorectic effect compared with that of CCK-8.

N-substituted 3, 4-fullero pyrrolidine was synthesized according to 1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition of the azomethine ylide. Aspartic acid with protected α-amino and α-carboxyl groups was reacted with the activated hydroxyl group of N-substituted 3, 4-fullero pyrrolidine. The products were deprotected, affording the monofullerene aspartic acid (mFas). The conjugate FasT was synthesized by reaction of mFas containing protected amino group with the thymidylic acid derivatived controlled pore glass (CPG) using solid phase synthesis. All of the above fullerene derivatives were characterized by UV–vis, 1H NMR, IR and MS spectrometric analysis, giving the correct spectra with regard to their chemical structure. The chemical structures of fullerene nucleotides conjugate FasT is different from previous reports and may have novel biological properties. Moreover, they are more suitable for applications in biomedical research due to their solubilization in THF and DMSO. They have a potential to be used as monomer for the automatic synthesis. It allows further conjugation with specific biomolecules including amino acids, peptides, nucleotides and nucleic acids. A novel method has been developed to synthesize fullerene nucleotides conjugate. Their unique chemical structures make them very interesting for their potential use in medicine and biology.
