Studies on the structure–activity relationship of 2′,6′-dimethyl-l-tyrosine (Dmt) derivatives: bioactivity profile of H–Dmt–NH–CH3
摘要:
The 2',6'-dimethyl-L-tyrosine (Dmt) enhances receptor affinity, functional bioactivity and in vivo analgesia of opioid peptides. To further investigate its direct influence on these opioid parameters, we developed a series of compounds (H-Dmt-NH-X). Among them, H-Dmt-NH-CH3 showed the highest affinity (K(i)mu = 7.45 nM) equal to that of morphine, partial mu-opioid agonism (E-max = 66.6%) in vitro and a moderate antinociception in mice.
