Preparative Peptide Purification

Figure 1. Manufacture of synthetic peptides ranges from milligram to multikilogram amounts. When a peptide is a biopharmaceutical (API) candidate, the amount required will increase as it moves through clinical trials to marketed product. When developing purification methods, the required “product” API quantity and purity should be considered. Bradykinin is a physiologically and pharmacologically active peptide of the kinin family used in development of antagonists and therapies for hereditary angioedema. Here we describe two different methods of purifying a crude…
