ABSTRACT:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide peptides which comprise a monosulfide bridge. This thioether bond is also designated as a lanthionine bridge and corresponds with the cystine bridge with the exception that the disulfide bridge is replaced by a monosulfide linkage. Two amino acid residues having the general formula
are designated to be joined into a lanthionine bridge wherein the linkage of the two amino acids has the meaning —RCH—S—HCR′—, wherein R and R′ respectively represent —H, a lower (C1-C10) alkyl or aralkyl group. In a preferred embodiment R and R′ are H. The amino acid termini of the lanthionine structure are designated as Ala
L
if R and R′ are H and Thr
L
when R or R′ are CH3. Other &bgr;-substituted lanthionine components are designated as substituted Ala
L
derivatives, e.g. &bgr;ethylAla
L
.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Thioether bonds of the lanthionine type are known from some fungal toxins and antibiotics, for example from the lantibiotics, as nisin, epidermin, dunamycin or mersacidin. Naturally occurring compounds having the monosulfide bridge always have more than two monosulfide bridges in the molecule.
M. F. Bean et al. have reported in their article “Identification of a Thioether By-product in the Synthesis of a Cyclic Disulfide Peptide by Tandem Mass Spectrometry” as published in the Proceedings of the 11th American Peptide Symposium, ESCOM, (Leiden 1990, p. 443) on a somatostatin analog wherein the internal disulfide bond has been converted to a thioether link. The somatostatin analog with the putative amino acid sequence Phe-Ala-Phe-Trp-Lys-Thr-Ala-Thr(ol), wherein the two Ala
L
residues are linked via the thioether bridge, has been described as the by-product which was obtained by the Boc-TFA-preparation of sandostatin analogs. The originally occurring somatostatin derivative has a disulfide bridge.
