We report the synthesis and the biological activity of new analogues of Ac-RFMWMK-NH2 and Ac-RYYRWK-NH2, modified in position 4 and 5, respectively, with incorporation of newly synthesized beta(2)-tryptophan analogues. Trp was substituted by the (S)-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propionic residue or by (S)-2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)propionic residue. The biological activity (pEC(50) and E-max) of these compounds was tested on electrically stimulated preparations of rat vas deferens. The 5-methoxy beta-tryptophan group reverses the affinity of the compounds. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
