The purification of crude calcitonin by subjecting a crude calcitonin material to partition chromatography in which the solvent utilized is a mixture of butanol, a lower alphatic alcohol which is ethanol, methanol, or propanol, or mixtures thereof, acetic acid, water and ammonium acetate. The crude calcitonin of this invention is of a type known as ultimobronchial calcitonin. This includes calcitonins of the salmon and eel, whether the calcitonins of this type be obtained from natural sources or are prepared by synthesis. Preferably, the crude calcitonins of this type, which are purified by the process herein set forth, are obtained by solid phase synthesis in which the amino acid chain is assembled by attaching a resin support to the first amino acid, adding the amino acids one-by-one in the order in which they appear in the natural calcitonin; and finally removing the resin and the protective groups used in the synthesis.
