A 41-residue peptide corresponding to the entire amino acid sequence of ovine corticotropin releasing factor (oCRF) was synthesized by assembling ten peptide fragments of established purity, followed by hard-acid deprotection with 1 M trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate in trifluoroacetic acid. β-Cycloheptylaspartate was employed to minimize base-catalyzed succinimide formation. When tested by in vivo assay, synthetic oCRF was as active as synthetic hCRF in terms of ability to release immunoreactive corticotropin.
