affinity and efficacy of representative ligands of the V1a and V2 vasopressin receptor subtypes (V1a-R and V2-R) and of the oxytocin receptor. Our results confirm the subtlety of the structure–affinity and structure–efficacy relationships around vasopressin/oxytocin receptor ligands and lead however to the first nonpeptide OT receptor agonist active in a mouse model of ASD after peripheral ip administration
催产素(OT)及其受体(OT-R)与自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的病因有关,并且OT-R是治疗干预的潜在目标。当前已经报道了极少的非肽催产素激动剂。它们的分子和体内药理学仍有待阐明,并且没有显示它们在改善与ASD相关的动物模型中的社会互动方面有效。为了合理设计中枢活性非肽全激动剂的设计,我们以系统的方式研究了V 1a和V 2加压素受体亚型(V 1a -R和V 2)的代表性配体的亲和力和功效的结构决定因素。-R)和催产素受体。我们的研究结果证实了血管加压素/催产素受体配体周围的结构亲和力和结构功效关系的微妙之处,但是导致了在外围腹膜内注射后在ASD小鼠模型中首个活性的非肽OT受体激动剂。
