Substitution of Gly with side-chain-protected or unprotected Lys in lead compounds containing the opioid pharmacophore Dmt-Tic [H-Dmt-Tic-Gly-NH-CH2-Ph, A agonist/% antagonist; H-Dmt-Tic-Gly-NH-Ph, A agonist/% agonist; and H-Dmt-Tic-NH-CH2-Bid, delta agonist ( Bid) 1H-benzimidazole-2-yl)] yielded a new series of compounds endowed with distinct pharmacological activities. Compounds (1-10) included high delta- (K-i(delta) 0.068-0.64 nM) and mu-opioid affinities (K-i(u)) 0.13-5.50 nM), with a bioactivity that ranged from mu-opioid agonism 10, H-Dmt-Tic-NH-CH[(CH2)4-NH2]-Bid (IC50 GPI = 39.7 nM)} to a selective mu-opioid antagonist [3, H-Dmt-Tic-Lys-NH-CH2-Ph (pA(2)(mu) = 7.96)] and a selective mu-opioid antagonist [5, H-Dmt-Tic-Lys(Ac)-NH-Ph (pA(2)(delta) = 12.0)]. The presence of a Lys linker provides new lead compounds in the formation of opioid peptidomimetics containing the Dmt-Tic pharmacophore with distinct agonist and/or antagonist properties.
