Abstract:
:The endogenous peptides somatostatin (SRIF) and substance P comprise very different structures. Although both bind G-protein-coupled receptors, the SRIF receptors (SSTR 1-5) recognize SRIF and related peptides which retain its beta-turn such as the potent cyclic hexapeptide SRIF agonist L-363,301 (6a), but not substance P. Conversely the NK-1 receptor binds substance P but not the above ligands. In contrast, the beta-D-glucosides 1 and 2, designed to mimic the beta-turn of 6a, bind both receptors. This observation led us to attempt the conversion of 6a into the first potent, selective cyclic hexapeptide ligand for the NK-1 receptor. To this end, we combined design with a minilibrary approach. The goal was accomplished with surprising ease, leading to the NK-1 receptor antagonist 9 (IC50 2.0 +/- 0.4 nM). This demonstrates that peptidomimetics, incorporating in this case the promiscuous beta-D-glucose scaffold, can provide valuable clues about receptor similarities not revealed by their endogenous ligands. In addition, this work suggests that the use of libraries and rational design need not be mutually exclusive approaches to lead discovery.
