Conformational probes for elucidating the nature of substance P binding to the NK1 receptor: initial efforts to map the Phe7-Phe8 region
摘要:
Three substance P analogs with conformation constraints in the Phe(7)-Phe(8) region have been prepared in connection with an effort to differentiate two families of potential conformations for the binding of substance P to its NK, receptor. While the analogs did not bind the NK, receptor with high affinity, the synthesis of the analogs demonstrated the utility of a general method for constructing piperazinone based peptidomimetics.
