Unique sequence in deltorphin C confers structural requirement for δ opioid receptor selectivity
摘要:
A series of deltorphin C (H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Asp-Val-Val-Gly-NH2) analogues were synthesized to assess the consequences of changing anionic and hydrophobic residues on delta receptor selectivity. Analogues with altered C-terminal groups, inverted sequences, or esterified with tert-butyl, benzyl, or ethyl groups revealed that high delta selectivity required an unmodified amino acid sequence. Shifts of Asp and hydrophobic residues decreased delta selectivity due to loss in delta affinity (5- to almost-equal-to 700-fold); mu affinity was unchanged or increased 14-fold. Suppression of charge or deamidation diminished delta selectivity through reduced delta and modified mu affinities. Data provide evidence that a negative charge does not a priori guarantee high selectivity and specific alignment of anionic and hydrophobic residues might facilitate optimum spatial configuration which complements the 8 receptor binding site.

An N-terminal nonapeptide fragment of bovine trypsinogen, H-l-Val-l-Asp-l-Asp-l-Asp-l-Asp-l-Lys-l-Ile-l-Val-Gly-OH, was synthesized via two routes and its susceptibility with trypsin was investigated. Protected derivatives, t-butyloxycarbonyl protected nonapeptide t-butyl ester and benzyloxycarbonyl protected nonapeptide benzyl ester, were prepared by stepwise elongation. Removal of the protecting groups was carried out by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid and hydro-genation respectively. The naked peptide was purified with chromatography on ECTEOLA cellulose column using dilute acetic acid as a solvent. Upon lyophilization the desired nonapeptide was obtained as colorless powder, a portion of the product being digested with trypsin. Rate of tryptic hydrolysis of the peptide was found to be unexpectedly low in the absence of calcium ion, while considerable acceleration of the hydrolysis by calcium ion was noted.
A series of 2-oxoamides based on dipeptides and pseudodipeptides were synthesized and their activities towards two human intracellular phospholipases A(2) (GIVA cPLA(2) and GVIA iPLA(2)) and one human secretory phospholipase A(2) (GV sPLA(2)) were evaluated. Derivatives containing a free carboxyl group are selective GIVA cPLA(2) inhibitors. A derivative based on the ethyl ester of an ether pseudodipeptide is the first 2-oxoamide, which preferentially inhibits GVIA iPLA2. The effect of 2-oxoamides on the generation of arachidonic acid from RAW 264.7 macrophages was also studied and it was found that selective GIVA cPLA(2) inhibitors preferentially inhibited cellular arachidonic acid release; one pseudodipeptide gave an IC50 value of 2 mu M.
