Peptides and Peptide amides such as chlolecystokinin (CCK-8) are synthesized in improved yields and purity by a solid phase process. The requisite protected peptide is elaborated and sulfated on a solid support, deprotected, and cleaved from the solid support to give the total synthesis of CCK-8 on a solid support. Thereafter, the peptide is purified in a single step by ion exchange chromatography to provide analytically pure CCK-8. |
