Title: Preparation of tyrosine-O-(/sup 35/S)sulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide from a nonsulfated precursor peptide

Journal Article · · Anal. Biochem.; (United States)

A rapid and simple one-pot method for O-sulfation of nonsulfated cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) was developed using sulfuric acid and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) without protection of the amino acid side chains. The extent of sulfation was increased with increasing the amount of reactants, sulfuric acid, and DCC, and reached maximum (40%) with fourfold molar excess of sulfuric acid and 40-fold molar excess of DCC. The excess of nonsulfated peptide inhibited the sulfation. The sulfation product was purified by HPLC or TLC to give a pure sulfated substance which showed exactly the same behavior as that of an authentic O-sulfated CCK-8 on HPLC or TLC. The purified sulfated peptide was active in stimulating amylase secretion from rat pancreatic fragments, and amino acid analysis showed that the tyrosine residue in the peptide existed in O-sulfated form. Sulfation with (/sup 35/S)sulfuric acid-DCC produced a radioactive substance, from which O-(/sup 35/S)sulfated CCK-8 could be easily purified by two-dimensional TLC.
