Chemical and biological properties of synthetic, sulfur-free analogues of parathyroid hormone

M. Rosenblatt, D. Goltzman, H. T. Keutmann, G. W. Tregear and J. T. Potts Jr

Several analogues of the biologically active fragment of bovine parathyroid hormone (bPTH), based on the sequence of the NH2-terminal 34 amino acids, were prepared by solid phase synthesis and bioassayed in the in vitro adenylyl cyclase assay to provide further information concerning structure-activity relations in parathyroid hormone. In two analogues both methionines of the natural hormone were replaced with the sulfur-free and closely isosteric amino acid norleucine (Nle). The synthetic analogue [Nle-8, Nle-18]bPTH-(1-34) was highly active in the in vitro rat adenylyl cyclase bioassay, thus demonstrating that neither of the methionines, found in the native sequence, is indispensable for biological activity. Tyrosine was substituted for phenylalanine at position 34 in the synthesis of two other hormone analogues, [Try-34]bPTH-(1-34) and [Nle-8,Nle-18,Tyr-34]bPTH-(1-34). Both derivatives were exposed to conventional iodination procedures involving use of the oxidant chloramine T. Although iodination of [Try-34]bPTH-(1-34) resulted in virtually complete loss of biological activity, [Nle-8,Nle-18,Tyr-34]-bPTH-(1-34), which lacks methionine, could be exposed to oxidants and labeled efficiently with iodine with retention of nearly complete biological activity. These findings confirm that the loss of biological activity after oxidation of bPTH, as previously observed with the native hormone, is indeed attributable to the oxidation lability of methionine rather than to any other modifications. This sulfur-free, radioiodinated, biologically active analogue of parathyroid hormone may prove useful in studies of interaction of the hormone with the membrane receptors of target tissues and in studies of the metabolism of parathyroid hormone.
