Novel Octreotide Dicarba-analogues with High Affinity and Different Selectivity for Somatostatin Receptors
摘要:
A limited set of novel octreotide dicarba-analogues with non-native aromatic side chains in positions 7 and/or 10 were synthesized. Their affinity toward the ssts(1-5) was determined. Derivative 4 exhibited a pan-somatostatin activity, except sst(4), and derivative 8 exhibited high affinity and selectivity toward sst(5). Actually, compound 8 has similar sst(5) affinity (IC(50) 4.9 nM) to SRIF-28 and octreotide. Structure activity relationships suggest that the Z geometry of the double-bond bridge is that preferred by the receptors. The NMR study on the conformations of these compounds in SDS(-d25) micelles solution shows that all these analogues have the pharmacophore beta-turn spanning Xaa(7)-D-Trp(8)-Lys(9)-Yaa(10) residues. Notably, the correlation between conformation families and affinity data strongly indicates that the sst(5) selectivity is favored by a helical conformation involving the C-terminus triad, while a pan-SRIF mimic activity is based mainly on a conformational equilibrium between extended and folded conformational states.
