In this paper, we present the detailed synthetic protocol and characterization of Fmoc-Lys(Pac)-OH, its use for the preparation of octapeptides H-Gly-Phe-Tyr-N-MePhe-Thr-Lys(Pac)-Pro-Thr-OH and H-Gly-Phe-Phe-His-Thr-Pro-Lys(Pac)-Thr-OH by solid-phase synthesis, trypsin-catalyzed condensation of these octapeptides with desoctapeptide(B23-B30)-insulin, and penicillin G acylase catalyzed cleavage of phenylacetyl (Pac) group from Nepsilon-amino group of lysine to give novel insulin analogs [TyrB25, N-MePheB26,LysB28,ProB29]-insulin and [HisB26]-insulin. These new analogs display 4 and 78% binding affinity respectively to insulin receptor in rat adipose membranes.
