Abstract

Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, pGlu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Arg-Pro-Gly-NH2,2 was synthesized in a stepwise manner by two approaches: the use of insoluble polymeric active esters derived from (4-hydroxy-3-nitro)benzylated polystyrene and that of solubleN,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The overall yields of the syntheses were 40 and 7%, respectively. The efficiencies of the two synthetic routes, in which identical intermediate peptides were prepared, are compared.
