A series of neurotensin(8-13) (NT) analogues were synthesized through intermediates in which the N-terminal Arg(8) was replaced by various omega-bromo-2(S)-azido residues spanning 3-5 methylene units in side-chain length. Subsequent nucleophilic substitution of the omega-bromo groups with ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine, or trimethylamine provided peptides containing N-terminal 2(S)-azido residues containing primary through quaternary N-alkylated side chains corresponding in length to ornithine, Lys, and homolysine. The synthetic procedure appears applicable for incorporation of a wide variety of amine-containing nonnatural amino acids into peptides. The particular modifications were intended to enhance physiochemical properties of NT(8-13) responsible for human NT 1 receptor (hNTR) binding, overall lipophilicity, and stability that may influence the potency of the peptides in vivo. When the peptides were tested for hNTR binding, the affinities in each series followed the order primary > secondary > tertiary > quaternary amine with the homolysine side-chain length being favored. All analogues possess binding affinities between acetyl-NT(8-13) and NT(8-13) indicating that the sterically less bulky alpha-azido may be inherently preferable to the acetyl group for N-terminal protection. This study extends the strategy of modifying amine-containing drugs through alkylations to peptide modification. The set of alkylated side chains also offers a new method of steric selection between receptor subtypes and could be used to modify the properties and biological effects of any peptide that contains cationic residues.

Seven non-natural analogues of arginine and lysine have been substituted in an established arginine-based thrombin inhibitor. Four of the new compounds exhibited significant thrombin inhibition (K-i's 0.53-3.95 muM) and were subsequently tested for selectivity against trypsin. The two best compounds gave selectivity ratios of 962 and 525 (trypsin/thrombin), improving upon the parent compound. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A series of protected omega-mercapto amino acids with side-chain lengths ranging from 3-5 methylene units has been synthesized via nucleophilic substitution of omega-bromo-alpha-azido acids by 4-methoxy-alpha-toluenethiol followed by reduction of the azido functionality with SnCl2. These enantiomerically pure protected cysteine analogues can be used to optimize the length of disulfide connections in cyclically constrained peptide pharmacophores. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Recent evidence is consistent with neurotensin (NT)(8-13) adopting a Type I beta-turn conformation while binding the NT receptor, which would place the cationic side-chains of Arg(8) and Arg(9) in close proximity. This was the basis for the design, synthesis and analysis of truncated NT(9-13) analogues 1-5 with dicationic position 9 side-chains to emulate the functions of the 8 and 9 side-chains of NT(8-13).
