Bis-thymosine α-1 consisting of two desacetylthymosine α-1 un N-terminally linked by a bridge bond of 1 to 10 carbon atoms, especially an α,ω-diacyl residue with 2 to 10 carbon atoms. This new compound is made by converting a synthetic desacetylthymosine α-1 in which all functional groups of amino acids 1 through 28, except the N-terminal group, are blocked by protective groups conventional in peptide synthesis with a coupling compound of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and that reacts with NH 2 groups, in a polar solvent, and then removing the protective groups. |
