Abstract: | Two deacetyl-thymosin β4 analogues containing Phe(4Br) or D-Phe(4Br) as position 12 were synthesized by the manual solid-phase method, and their immunological effects on the impaired blastogenic response of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated T lymphocytes of uremic patients with infectious diseases were studied. Bromination of the p-position of Phe12 resulted in a marked restorative effect on the impaired blastogenic response of T lympocytes compared with that of our synthetic deacetyl-thymosin β4 The synthetic [Phe(4Br)12]deacetyl-thymsin β4 was approximately equal in potency to our synthetic [Phe(4F)12]deacetyl-thymosin β4 in uremic patients, but the other analogue, [D-Phe(4Br)12]deacetyl-thymosin β4, had no effect. |
