Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), a protein of 70 amino acid residues and 3 cystine bridges, has been synthesized by two solid phase Boc methods. The first method used N-methylpyrrolidinone as the solvent with single coupling cycles while the second synthesis used dimethylformamide and dichloromethane as the solvents with a double-coupling protocol. In both cases, trifluoroacetic acid/trifluoromethanesulphonic acid cleavage of the peptide from the resin was employed. Purification of the cleavage products followed by removal of the S-acetamidomethyl protecting groups gave reduced peptides which were then oxidized under conditions favouring the formation of the correct disulphide bonds. The purified synthetic IGF-I peptides were full agonists of natural IGF-I in a radioimmunoassay, in an IGF-I radioreceptor assay, in a bioassay which measures the stimulation of protein synthesis in rat L6 myoblasts and in an IGF-binding protein competitive binding assay. Moreover, in each of these assays, the synthetic IGF peptides were found to be at least 70% as potent as natural IGF-I.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D007334 Insulin-Like Growth Factor I A well-characterized basic peptide believed to be secreted by the liver and to circulate in the blood. It has growth-regulating, insulin-like, and mitogenic activities. This growth factor has a major, but not absolute, dependence on GROWTH HORMONE. It is believed to be mainly active in adults in contrast to INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR II, which is a major fetal growth factor.

D012116 Resins, Plant Flammable, amorphous, vegetable products of secretion or disintegration, usually formed in special cavities of plants. They are generally insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, ether, or volatile oils. They are fusible and have a conchoidal fracture. They are the oxidation or polymerization products of the terpenes, and are mixtures of aromatic acids and esters. Most are soft and sticky, but harden after exposure to cold.
