A series of small molecules derived from MK-0677, a potent synthetic GHS, mimicking the N-terminal Gly-Ser-O-(n-octanoyl)-L-Ser-Phe segment of ghrelin was synthesized and tested in a binding and in a functional assay measuring intracellular calcium elevation in HEK-293 cells expressing hCHSR1a. Replacement of Phe in this tetrapeptide with a spiro(indoline-3,4 '- piperidine) group, Gly-Ser with 2-aminoisobutyric acid, and O-(n-octanoyl)-L-Ser with O-benzyl-D-Ser provided synthetic GHS agonists with similar functional potency as ghrelin.
