1.1 Chemical synthesis method
The chemical synthesis method utilizes the principles of organic synthesis chemistry to synthesize octapeptide through a series of reactions. The specific steps are as follows:

Step 1: 

Select appropriate amino acids as starting materials. L-amino acids are usually chosen because of their high biological activity.
Step 2: 

Generate dipeptides through condensation reaction. The carboxyl anhydride method or mixed anhydride method is commonly used for the synthesis of dipeptides.
Step 3: 

React the dipeptide with the next amino acid to generate a tripeptide. Repeat this step until the octapeptide is generated.
Step 4: 

Purification of the generated octapeptide is commonly performed using ion exchange chromatography
Reverse phase chromatography Perform separation and purification.


1.2 Biological synthesis method
Biological synthesis is the use of enzymatic reactions within living organisms to synthesize octapeptides through fermentation or cell culture methods. The specific steps are as follows:
Step 1: 

Select appropriate strains or cell lines, as well as suitable culture conditions.
Step 2: 

By using genetic engineering technology, the synthetic enzyme genes of target amino acids are introduced into bacterial strains or cell lines.
Step 3: 

Using fermentation or cell culture methods to synthesize octapeptide under appropriate conditions.
Step 4: 

Separation and purification of the generated octapeptide are commonly performed using ion exchange chromatography and reverse phase chromatography.
