Abstract:
:A series of cyclic pseudopeptides of the formula cyclo(Leu psi[CH2NH]Xaa-Gln-Trp-Phe-beta Ala), where Xaa represents the residue of an alpha-amino acid, has been synthesized in order to establish the role of the Xaa side chain for tachykinin NK-2 receptor antagonist activity. Syntheses have been carried out in solid phase with either Fmoc or Boc strategy. The antagonist potency on NK-2 receptors in the hamster isolated trachea (HT) and the rabbit isolated pulmonary artery (RPA) bioassays increases with Xaa lipophilicity; cyclo(Leu psi[CH2NH]Cha-Gln-Trp-Phe-beta Ala) and cyclo(Leu psi[CH2NH]Asp(NHBzl)-Gln-Trp-Phe-beta Ala) resulted in being the two most active antagonists (pA2 = 9.06 and 9.26 on HT, respectively). A significant linear correlation was found between pA2 values determined in HT and RPA bioassays and capacity factors measured in reversed phase HPLC. The comparison between the biological activities of cyclic hexapeptides containing or not containing the aminomethylene moiety proved the crucial role of the pseudopeptide bond for determining high antagonist potency at the NK-2 receptor.
