Peptide fragments of Substance P corresponding to the C-terminal segments (6-11) and (4-11), which contain a putative β-turn, were synthesised using solution phase methodology. Analogs of Substance P were synthesised where the phenylalanine residue at position 8 was replaced by dehydrophenylalanine (ΔPhe) and the glycine residue in position 9 was replaced by alanine, valine, sarcosine (N–Me–Gly) and α-aminoisobutyric acid. In two of the analogs [8-ΔPhe, 9-Sar]–SP (4-11) (5) and [5,8-ΔPhe, 9-Aib]–SP (4-11) (7) glutamine residue at position 5 was also substituted by ΔPhe. These analogs were evaluated for their ability to cause smooth muscle contraction in guinea pig ileum preparation (in vitro) and for hypotensive activity (in vivo) in female rats anesthetized with urethane. In the hexapeptide series [8-ΔPhe]–SP (6-11) (1) and [8-ΔPhe, 9-Sar]–SP (6-11) (4) showed significant activity in both the assays. Octapeptide [5,8-ΔPhe, 9-Sar]–SP (4-11) (5) with ΔPhe residue in positions 5 and 8 and sarcosine in position 9 was found to be the most potent analog both in vitro and in vivo systems.
合成了与物质P的C端片段(6-11)和(4-11)相对应的肽段,这些片段包含一个假定的β-转角,采用溶液相的方法。合成了物质P的类似物,其中第8位的苯丙氨酸残基被脱氢苯丙氨酸(ΔPhe)替代,第9位的甘氨酸残基被丙氨酸、缬氨酸、肌氨酸(N–Me–Gly)和α-氨基异丁酸替代。在两个类似物[8-ΔPhe, 9-Sar]–SP (4-11) (5)和[5,8-ΔPhe, 9-Aib]–SP (4-11) (7)中,第5位的谷氨酰胺残基也被ΔPhe替代。这些类似物在豚鼠回肠制备中(体外)评估了其引起平滑肌收缩的能力,并在以氨基甲酸酯麻醉的雌性大鼠中评估了其降血压活性。在六肽系列中,[8-ΔPhe]–SP (6-11) (1)和[8-ΔPhe, 9-Sar]–SP (6-11) (4)在两项实验中均显示出显著的活性。八肽[5,8-ΔPhe, 9-Sar]–SP (4-11) (5)在第5和第8位具有ΔPhe残基并在第9位含有肌氨酸,发现其在体外和体内系统中是最有效的类似物。
