Abstract:
:Nociceptin (NOC) and dynorphin A (DYN) analogues containing 2',6'-dimethylphenylalanine (Dmp) in place of Phe or Tyr in position 1 and/or 4 were synthesized and their metabolic stability and receptor-binding properties were investigated. [Dmp1]NOC(1-13)-NH2 (1) possessed high ORL1 receptor affinity comparable to that of the parent peptide with substantially improved affinities for kappa-, mu-, and delta-opioid receptors. However, Dmp4 substitution of NOC peptide (2) reduced ORL1 receptor affinity. [Dmp1]DYN(1-13)-NH2 (4) and its Dmp4 analogue (5) possessed a 3-fold greater kappa-opioid receptor affinity and improved kappa-receptor selectivity compared to the parent peptide. Analogue 4 however exhibited an unexpectedly low in vitro bioactivity (GPI assay), suggesting, the phenolic hydroxyl group at the N-terminal residue in DYN peptide is extremely important for activation of the kappa-opioid receptor. Analogue 5 possessed an improved kappa-opioid receptor selectivity with an IC50 ratio of 1(kappa)/509(mu)/211598(delta); thus, this peptide may serve as a highly selective kappa-receptor agonist for pharmacological study. Dmp1 substitution in both the NOC and DYN peptides improved metabolic stability toward these peptides, while Dmp4 substitution provided no additional metabolic stability.
