Considerable effort has been dedicated to the synthesis of peptide mimeticstructures to over<strong>com</strong>e the unfavorable properties and also therapeutic deficiencies ofpeptides [2].Among them is insertion of some chemical groups in the peptide sequences to increasetheir activity. In the present work, new GnRH analogues were designed, synthesized andanalyzed for its anti-cancer activity in <strong>com</strong>parison with triptorelin acetate. The newanalogue structure is similar to triptorelin acetate with two extra chemical groups insertedbetween Leu7 and Arg8 in order to increase peptide hydrophobic properties without anychange in peptide active sites (I).Results and DiscussionIn a continuation of our research work for the synthesis of pharmaceutical peptides, and inorder to study the effect of modification in triptorelin acetate structure, the new triptorelinanalogue was designed, and synthesized via an efficient Ugi-4MCR (Figure 1) [3].Reaction of heptapeptide which contained free carboxylic acid and tripeptide with freeamino group, 4-pyridine carbaldehyde and cyclohexyl isocyanide leads to the desired<strong>com</strong>pound (I). The heptapeptide was synthesized using Fmoc SPPS standard strategy ingood yield. The anti-cancer activity of analogue (I) was studied. It showed better anticanceractivity <strong>com</strong>pared to triptorelin acetate. In the extra pituitary <strong>com</strong>partment GnRHand its receptor act as part of the autocrine regulatory system of cell proliferation, resultingin its anticancer activity. The inhibitory efficiency of this new analogue is proved to behigher than the original triptorelin [4].CHONp-Glu-His(Trt)-Trp(Boc)-Ser(tBu)-Tyr(tBu)-D-Trp-Leu-COOH + H 2 N-Arg(Pbf)-Pro-Gly-CONH 2p-Glu-His-Trp-Ser-Tyr-D-Trp-LeuFig. 1.
