Abstract：
:Human melanin-concentrating hormone (hMCH) and many of its analogues are potent but nonspecific ligands for human melanin-concentrating hormone receptors 1 and 2 (hMCH-1R and hMCH-2R). To differentiate between the physiological functions of these receptors, selective antagonists are needed. In this study, analogues of Ac-Arg(6)-cyclo(S-S)(Cys(7)-Met(8)-Leu(9)-Gly(10)-Arg(11)-Val(12)-Tyr(13)-Arg(14)-Pro(15)-Cys(16))-NH(2), a high affinity but nonselective agonist at hMCH-1R and hMCH-2R, were prepared and tested in binding and functional assays on cells expressing these receptors. In the new analogues, 5-aminovaleric acid (Ava) was incorporated in place of the Leu(9)-Gly(10) and/or Arg(14)-Pro(15) segments of the disulfide ring. Several of these compounds turned out to be high affinity antagonists selective for hMCH-1R. Moreover, even at micromolar concentrations, they were devoid of agonist potency at both hMCH receptors and not effective as hMCH-2R antagonists. For example, peptide 14, Gva(6)- cyclo(S-S)(Cys(7)-Met(8)-Leu(9)-Gly(10)-Arg(11)-Val(12)-Tyr(13)-Ava(14,15)-Cys(16))-NH(2), (Gva = 5-guanidinovaleric acid), was a full competitive hMCH-1R antagonist (IC(50) = 14 nM, K(B) = 0.9 nM) with more than 1000-fold selectivity over hMCH-2R. Examination of various compounds with Ava in positions 9,10 and/or 14,15 revealed that the Leu(9)-Gly(10) and Arg(14)-Pro(15) segments of the disulfide ring are the principal structural elements determining hMCH-1R selectivity and ability to act as a hMCH-1R antagonist.
