Bis-thymosine .alpha.-1 compounds

Abstract

Bis-thymosine .alpha.-1 consisting of two desacetylthymosine .alpha.-1 un N-terminally linked by a bridge bond of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, especially an .alpha.,.omega.-diacyl residue with 2 to 10 carbon atoms. This new compound is made by converting a synthetic desacetylthymosine .alpha.-1 in which all functional groups of amino acids 1 through 28, except the N-terminal group, are blocked by protective groups conventional in peptide synthesis with a coupling compound of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and that reacts with NH.sub.2 groups, in a polar solvent, and then removing the protective groups.
