Immune regulating peptides and method of obtaining them

Abstract

The invention relates to medicine, specifically, to methods of obtaining biologically active substances with immuno-regulating properties, and can be used in medicine and veterinary science and in experimental biochemistry. The fundamental problem addressed by the invention is that of producing a noval synthetic biologically active peptide with immuno-regulating properties and of the formula: X-Glu-Trp-Y, in which X is H or Gly, Ala, Leu, Ile, Val, NVal, Pro, Tyr, Phe, Trp, D-Ala, D-Leu, D-Ile, D-Val, D-NVal, D-Pro, D-Tyr, D-Phe, D-Trp, .gamma.-aminobutyric acid, .zeta.-aminocapronic acid; Y is Gla, Ala, Leu, Ile, Val, NVal, Pro, Tyr, Phe, Trp, D-Ala, D-Leu, D-Ile, D-Val, D-NVal, D-Pro, D-Tyr, D-Phe, D-Trp, .gamma.-aminobutyric acid .zeta.-aminocapronic acid, --OH, NH.sub.2,N.sub.2 H.sub.3, mono- or di-substituted amide (C.sub.1 -C.sub.3). Peptide synthesis takes place in a solution by successive growth of a chain from the C termination of the molecules, using a strategy of maximum blocking of functional groups, starting from amino acid alkyl ether, using the method of activating the ethers and the method of mixed anhydrides using tributyloxicarbonyl amino acid, with the proviso when X is H, Y is not OH.
