Twenty homodetic cyclic peptides based on the C-terminal sequence of substance P were prepared (Table I) by a combination of solid-phase techniques and cyclizations using azide coupling Incorporation of dipeptide mimics based on substituted gamma-lactams were used in some cases to restrict their conformational mobility. Five of these cyclic peptides were shown to have high tachykinin antagonist activity (pA2 > 6) at NK-2 receptors (rat vas deferens). The two most potent of this series, XVII, cyclo(Gln-Trp-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met) (pA2 = 8.1), and I cyclo(Gln-Trp-Phe-(R)Gly[ANC-2]Leu-Met) (pA2 = 6.7), were selective for NK-2 receptors compared with the other tachykinin receptors (Table II).
