The tripeptides Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-OEt, Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 and Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-OBzl were synthesized by thermolysin and alpha-chymotrypsin catalysis. The optimum conditions for the couplings between Z-Pro-OH and H-Leu-OEt or H-Leu-Gly-OEt catalysed by thermolysin were determined by a systematic study involving analysis of pH effect, ammonium sulfate concentration, reaction time, enzyme concentration, and relative proportion of the carboxyl and amine components. The best yield obtained for Z-Pro-Leu-OEt was 77% and for Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-OEt, 100%. Z-Pro-Leu-OEt was coupled to H-Gly-OEt, H-Gly-NH2 and H-Gly-OBzl. The best conditions to obtain Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-OEt and Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2 were determined by the study of some factors that affect the reaction yield, such as organic solvent presence, substrate ratio and aqueous and organic solvent ratio. The yield obtained under optimum synthesis conditions was 55% for Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-OEt and 61% for Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2. Z-Pro-Leu-Gly-OBzl was synthesized with 42% yield.
