The total synthesis of the octacosapeptide corresponding to the proposed primary structure of porcine somatostatin-28 is described. The synthesis has been performed using a protection scheme of maximum selectivity (acid labile side chain protection based on tert-butyl alcohol and 1-adamantol derived protecting groups in combination with the S-tert-butylthio group for reversible and selective blocking of the cysteine thiol functions and the 2-nitrophenylthio group for the temporary protection of the alpha-amino functions of intermediate segments) and of carefully selected fragments. Upon assembly in sequence order of the four suitably protected fragments related to sequences 18-28, 15-17, 8-14 and 1-7, the asymmetric disulfides were reduced by exposure of the fully protected octacosapeptide to phosphines. Subsequently, the final deprotection was performed with trifluoroacetic acid and the resulting dihydrosomatostatin-28 was then converted by air oxidation into the "cyclic peptide". Gel filtration on Biogel P-6 and ion-exchange chromatography on Biogel CM-2 produced somatostatin-28 at a high degree of purity. Comparative analysis of the synthetic and natural product by means of chromatographic, immunological and biological assays confirmed the structure proposed for this putative precursor of somatostatin-14.

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.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D013004 Somatostatin A 14-amino acid peptide named for its ability to inhibit pituitary GROWTH HORMONE release, also called somatotropin release-inhibiting factor. It is expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, the gut, and other organs. SRIF can also inhibit the release of THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE; PROLACTIN; INSULIN; and GLUCAGON besides acting as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator. In a number of species including humans, there is an additional form of somatostatin, SRIF-28 with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal.

D053561 Somatostatin-28 A 28-amino acid peptide with the same biological activities of somatostatin-14 but with a 14-amino acid extension at the N-terminal. SRIF-28 is the major form of somatostatin in the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. Somatostatin 28
