The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical synthesis and discloses a linaclotide synthesis method. The linaclotide synthesis method includes: performing solid-phase synthesis to obtain linaclotide resin with an N terminal, a Thr side chain, a Cys side chain, an Asn side chain, a Tyr side chain and a Glu side chain of an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1 coupled with protecting groups and with a C terminal coupled with a resin solid-phase carrier, cracking to remove the protecting groups and the resin solid-phase carrier prior to carrying out oxidizing reaction by the aid of a GSH (glutathione) / GSSH (oxidized glutathione) oxidization system to obtain a crude linaclotide product, and purifying the crude linaclotide product so that linaclotide is obtained. By the method, an Mmt protecting group is used for protecting a cysteine side chain, crude linear linaclotide peptide is synthesized by a one-by-one coupling mode, and the linaclotide is obtained by oxidization by the aid of the GSH / GSSH oxidization system. Compared with existing methods, the linaclotide synthesis method has the advantages that purity of the crude linear peptide is improved, the oxidization step can be performed without purification, and purity and yield of the crude linaclotide product are remarkably improved.

Solid, stable formulations of linaclotide suitable for oral administration are described herein as are methods for preparing such formulations. The formulations described herein contain a polypeptide consisting of the amino acid sequence Cys Cys Glu Tyr Cys Cys Asn Pro Ala Cys Thr Gly Cys Tyr (“linaclotide”; SEQ ID NO:1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The linaclotide formulations described herein are stable and have a sufficient shelf life for manufacturing, storing and distributing the drug.

The invention relates to the field of medicinal synthesis and discloses a method for synthesizing linaclotide. The method comprises the following steps: synthesizing a linaclotide resin coupled with protecting groups on side chains Thr, Cys, Asn, Tyr and Glu of an amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO:1 and coupled with a resin carrier at the terminal C; performing acid hydrolysis to remove the protecting groups and resin carrier, obtaining a linaclotide linear crude peptide, cyclizing the linear crude peptide by adopting a cysteine / DMSO buffer solution, obtaining a crude linaclotide product, purifying and converting the crude product into acetate, thereby obtaining the finished product. According to the method disclosed by the invention, starting from a cyclizing system, the linaclotide synthesis method is improved, the total yield of linaclotide is improved by a stage by virtue of simple and rapid process steps, and the purity can reach a high level. Meanwhile, the later-stage cyclizing time is greatly shortened, and compared with the prior art, the method has high practical value and application prospects.
