However, with semaglutide still under patent protection, there is no USP monograph spelling out specifications for a quality product
Example 5 Arg34GLP-1 (9-37) carries out the modification of terminal amino group: dissolving 1g of Boc-His (Trt) -Aib-OH in 10mL of dichloromethane, adding 0.37g of DCC, cooling to 0 , stirring for 30min, adding 0.22g of HOSu, stirring and reacting at the temperature for 12 hours, filtering, collecting filtrate, and spin-drying the filtrate to obtain a crude Boc-His (Trt) -Aib-OSu product
I first explain the complexity of peptides and lay out the regulatory framework for manufacturing quality in API and bulk products
