METHOD FOR PREPARING ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE (ACTH) ANALOGS, SEQUENCE (4-10), POSSESSING NEUROTROPIC ACTIVITY AND TETRAPEPTIDE FOR ITS PREPARING Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC C07K1/06 C07K7/06 C07K5/107 

FIELD: pharmaceutical chemistry, chemistry of peptides, hormones.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for preparing analogs of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (4-10) possessing neurotropic activity. Method for preparing analogs of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a sequence (4-10), of the general formula (I): A-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (I) wherein A means hydrogen atom (H), Met, Met(O), Lys, Ser, Trp, Ala, Gly, Thr is carried out by liquid-phase method by step-by-step splicing peptide chain beginning from C-terminal protected tetrapeptide of the formula: H-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH (II) wherein X means a protective group and using corresponding fully protected amino acids in activated form followed by removal of protective groups at each step and purification of the end product by liquid chromatography. Method provides simplifying the process and to enhance the yield of the end product.

EFFECT: improved preparing method.
