Synthesis of a Biotinylated Probe with an Extended Cleavable Arm for Angiotensin II Receptors PurificationWe have synthesized a new biotinylated probe for angiotensin II receptors studies: biotinyl-NH(CH2)2—SS—(CH2)2—CO-Gly-∊ Ahx-[Ala1, Phe(4N3)8]angiotensin II (5). This molecule can be photoactivated through an arylazido group. 1H-NMR studies suggest that it adopts an extended conformation which should allow a simultaneous recognition of both streptavidin and hormone receptor. It has a good affinity for receptors (Kd = 1 nM) and hence is a promising tool in their detection (autoradiography, gold-, ferritin-, enzyme-, or fluorescent streptavidin derivatives) and separation (cell sorting, affinity chromatography). It can be monoiodinated (°6) at its tyrosine residue without a significant loss of affinity. Its extended cleavable arm allows an easy recovery of the ‘probe-receptor’ complex from streptavidin. An HPLC monitoring of the synthesis is described, particularly of the segment coupling 1 + 2 in presence of (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP). This method can be used as well for synthesis of the D-Phe8 derivative that has antagonist properties.
