1. A process for preparing a peptide of Formula 22,
![]() wherein:
AaaxAaay . . . Aaaz and Aaa1Aaa2 . . . Aaan are each independently a natural or synthetic peptide comprising 1 to 100 natural or unnatural amino acid residues, each of which is optionally protected:

![]() (iii) removing the protecting group from the compound of Formula 20 and coupling with an at least N-terminally protected amino acid or peptide having a free or activated carboxylic acid function and optionally repeating this step to give a compound of Formula 21,
![]() and
(iv) removing said compound of Formula 21 from the resin to form a compound of Formula 22,
