摘要:
A peptide component (A) represented by the following formula (1a) with a peptide component (B) represented by the following formula (2a) and a compound (C) represented by the following formula (3a), as an optional component are subjected to a condensation reaction in the presence of a dehydrating and condensing agent and a condensing auxiliary; provided that in the case where “X” represents HOOC—(CH2)m—CO— in the formula (1a) and/or (2a), the reaction is conducted with the compound (C). The ratio of the peptide component (A) relative to the peptide component (B) is 100/0 to 30/70 (mol %), and the ratio of the compound (C) relative to the total molar amount of the peptide component (A) and/or the peptide component (B). X-(Pro-Y-Gly)n-OH (1a), X—(Z)r—OH (2a), H2N—R—NH2 (3a) Wherein “X” represents H or the group HOOC—(CH2)m—CO— (“m”=1 to 18), “Y” represents Pro or Hyp, “n”=1 to 20, “Z” represents a peptide chain comprising 1 to 10 amino acid residue(s), “r”=1 to 20, and “R” represents a linear or branched alkylene group. The present invention provides a collagenous polypeptide which is free from a risk of an infection by a pathogenic organism (or a causative factor) or an undesirable side effect, and which has a high safety.

摘要:
The present invention provides a bioapplicable material (or composition) or film-forming material (or composition), which is free from a risk of an infection by a pathogenic organism or a transmission of a causative factor, has a high safety. The material (or composition) comprises a collagen-like synthetic polypeptide having at least an amino acid sequence represented by the formula -Pro-Y-Gly- (wherein Y represents Pro or Hyp). The polypeptide may show positive Cotton effect at a wavelength in range of 220 to 230 nm and negative Cotton effect at a wavelength in range of 195 to 205 nm in a circular dichroism spectrum. At least part of the polypeptide may be capable of forming a triple helical structure. The polypeptide may be degradable with a collagenase.
