Discovery of 1-amino-4-phenylcyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid and its influence on agonist selectivity between human melanocortin-4 and -1 receptors in linear pentapeptides
摘要:
Linear pentapeptides (Penta-cis-Apc-DPhe-Arg-Trp-Gly-NH2) containing 1-amino-4-phenylcyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (cis-Apc) and substituted Apc are potent hMC4R agonists and they are inactive or weakly active in hMC1R, hMC3R, and hMC5R agonist assays. This study, together with our earlier report on 5-BrAtc, demonstrated the importance of replacing His6 with phenyl-containing rigid templates in achieving good hMC4R agonist potency and selectivity against hMC1R in linear pentapeptides.

Design, synthesis and biological activity of new neurohypophyseal hormones analogues conformationally restricted in the N-terminal part of the molecule. Highly potent OT receptor antagonists
In this study we present the synthesis and some pharmacological properties of fourteen new analogues of neurohypophyseal hormones conformationally restricted in the N-terminal part of the molecule. All new peptides were substituted at position 2 with cis-1-amino-4-phenylcyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid (cis-Apc). Moreover, one of the new analogues: [cis-Apc2, Val4]AVP was also prepared in N-acylated forms
在这项研究中,我们介绍了 14 种新的神经垂体激素类似物的合成和一些药理学特性,这些类似物在分子的N端部分构象受到限制。所有新肽在 2 位被顺式-1-氨基-4-苯基环己烷-1-羧酸(顺式-Apc)取代。此外,一种新的类似物:[ cis -Apc 2 , Val 4 ]AVP 也制备成具有各种庞大酰基的N-酰化形式。测试了所有肽的升压、抗利尿和体外子宫收缩活性。我们还确定了所选化合物对人 OT 受体的结合亲和力。我们的结果表明,引入顺式 -装甲运兵2中任一或AVP OT的位置2上导致具有高效力antioxytocin类似物。两种新化合物 [Mpa 1 , cis -Apc 2 ]AVP 和 [Mpa 1 , cis -Apc 2 ,Val 4 ]AVP 是非常有效的抗子宫收缩剂(分别为 pA 2 = 8.46 和 8.40)并表现出更高的亲和力对于人类 OT 受体,比阿托西班 ( K i值

Peptides of formulae I, II and III that selectively activate melanocortin-4 (MC-4) receptor activity.
Two libraries of hMC4R agonists, X-Y-DPhe(7)-Arg(8)-2-Nal(9)-Z-NH2 and X-Y-DPhe(7)-Arg(8)-Trp(9)-Z-NH2, totaling 185 peptides were 6 prepared using Irori radiofrequency tagging technology and Argonaut Quest 210 Synthesizer, where X stands for N-caps, Y for His(6) surrogates and Z for Gly(10) surrogates. As a result of this study, His-modified pentapeptides with Trp were found to be more hMC4R potent than the corresponding 2-Nal analogs, novel N-caps and Gly surrogates were identified and 19 new peptides which are potent hMC4R agonists (EC50 1-15 nM) and selective against hMC1R were discovered.
