Preparation method for semaglutide

Abstract

A preparation method for semaglutide. The method comprises: producing a semaglutide resin by means of a solid-phase synthesis, producing crude semaglutide by cleavage and deprotection, producing refined semaglutide by purification and freeze-drying, comprising the solid-phase synthesis of a semaglutide 1-6 peptide fragment resin, which is cleaved and purified to serve as a first peptide fragment; and synthesizing a lysine having a sidechain group at locus 20 of semaglutide to serve as a second peptide fragment. In the method, prepared is a semaglutide loci 1-6 fully protected peptide fragment, which serves as a key starting material applied in the solid-phase synthesis of semaglutide, thus reducing the generation of D-His, D-Glu, D-Thr, D-Phe racemic impurities and +Gly impurities, reducing the difficulty of coarse product purification, increasing the purity and yield of semaglutide, reducing synthesis costs, and favoring industrialized large-scale production.
