A series of dipeptides were designed as potential agonists of the human KiSS1‐derived peptide receptor (hGPR54). While the sequence Arg‐Trp‐NH2 was the most efficient in terms of affinity, we established a convergent synthetic strategy to optimize the N terminus. Using two successive Sonogashira cross‐coupling reactions on a solid‐supported peptide, we were able to introduce various alkynes at the
设计了一系列二肽作为人类KiSS1衍生肽受体(h GPR54)的潜在激动剂。虽然就亲和力而言,序列Arg-Trp-NH 2是最有效的,但我们建立了一种收敛的合成策略来优化N末端。通过在固相支持的肽上进行两个连续的Sonogashira交叉偶联反应,我们能够在N末端引入各种炔烃,从而为h GPR54提供亚微摩尔亲和力的化合物。然而,功能测定表明苯甲酰化的二肽Bz-Arg-Trp-NH 2就激动性能而言,它是最有前途的化合物。有趣的是,在大鼠的血清和肝微粒体中,该化合物似乎都比内源性神经肽基索肽更稳定。还发现该化合物能够在雄性大鼠中诱导体内睾丸激素水平的显着增加。
