Structural studies of [2′,6′-dimethyl-l-tyrosine1]endomorphin-2 analogues: enhanced activity and cis orientation of the Dmt-Pro amide bond
摘要:
Analogues of endomorphin-2 (EM-2: Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) (1) were designed to examine the importance of each residue on mu-opioid receptor interaction. Replacement of Tyr(1) by 2',6'-dimethyl-L-tyrosine (Dmt) (9-12) exerted profound effects: [Dmt(1)]EM-2 (9) elevated mu-opioid affinity 4.6-fold (K(i)mu = 0.15 nM) yet selectivity fell 330-fold as delta-affinity rose (K(i)delta = 28.2 nM). This simultaneous increased mu- and delta-receptor bioactivities resulted in dual agonism (IC50 = 0.07 and 1.87 nM, respectively). While substitution of Phe(4) by a phenethyl group (4) decreased mu affinity (K(i)mu 13.3 nM), the same derivative containing Dmt (12) was comparable to EM-2 but also acquired weak delta antagonism (pA(2) = 7.05). H-1 NMR spectroscopy revealed a trans configuration (1:2 to 1:3, cis/trans) in the Tyr-Pro amide bond, but a cis configuration (5:3 to 13:7, cis/trans) with Dmt-Pro analogues.

A highly efficient stereocontrolled synthesis of (S)-2′,6′-dimethyltyrosine [(S)-DMT]
摘要:
A new, practical and very convenient stereocontrolled synthesis of (S)-2',6'-dimethyltyrosine [(S)-Dmt] 4 was accomplished in a good yield, Starting from the chiral synthon 1.4-N,N-[(S)-phenylethyl]-piperazine-2,5-dione 1. The procedure, which is an extension Of our original strategy and occurs with a high level of stereoselectivity (>98%), is simple and inexpensive allowing LIS to prepare the unnatural alpha-aminoacid (S)-Dmt also on a multi-gram scale.

N-Adamantane-substituted tetrapeptide amides and the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are disclosed herein. These compounds are analogs of enkephalin wherein the methionine or leucine of position 5 has been substituted by an adamantyl amide and the glycine of position 2 has been substituted by various amino acid residues. Optionally the tyrosine of position 1 and the phenylalanine of position 4 may be substituted by various amino acid residues. These compounds exhibit agonist activity at opiate receptor sites and are useful as analgesics.
Unnatural aromaticaminoacids are useful tools in drug discovery, since their insertion in bioactive peptide sequences can change the sidechains spatial orientation, the backbone conformation and above all, their bioactivity. In this communication, we propose a straightforward method to synthesize 2′,6′‐dimethyl‐tyrosine and 2′,6′‐dimehylphenyl‐alanine derivatives as handling building blocks for

Solid-phase chemistry for the synthesis and Diels–Alder reaction of Fmoc-protected azopeptides has been developed and used to construct aza-pipecolyl (azaPip) peptides. Considering their ability to induce electronic and structural constraints that favor cis-amide isomer geometry and type VI β-turn conformation in model peptides, azaPip residues have now been introduced into biologically relevant targets
