template has been developed for the synthesis of peptide mimetics. Straightforward synthetic steps, starting from amino acids, allow the facile construction of a wide range of analogs. This system was designed to target the melanocortin receptors (MCRs), with functional group selection based on a known pharmacophore and guidance from molecular modeling to rationally identify positional and stereochemical
已经开发了用于肽模拟物合成的新的双环模板。从氨基酸开始的直接合成步骤可轻松构建各种类似物。该系统旨在针对黑皮质素受体(MCR),具有基于已知药效基团的官能团选择和分子建模指导,以合理地确定可能具有活性的位置和立体化学异构体。hMCR的功能对于多种生物学活动至关重要,包括色素沉着,类固醇生成,能量稳态,勃起活动和炎症。这些G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)是许多领域药物发现的目标,包括癌症,疼痛和肥胖症治疗药物。迄今为止,该系列所有化合物均以高亲和力结合为拮抗剂。
