Abstract:
:[1-Penicillamine,2-leucine]oxytocin is a conformationally restricted analogue of oxytoxin in which the half-cystine-1 and tyrosine-2 residues of the native hormone are replaced by half-penicillamine (beta, beta-dimethyl-half-cystine) and leucine, respectively. This analogue is a surprisingly potent oxytocin antagonist [Hruby, V. J., Deb, K. K., Yamamoto, D. M., Hadley, M. E., & Chan, W. Y. (1979) J. Med. Chem. 22,7]. Extensive proton magnetic resonance experiments were performed to determine the conformational properties of this analogue in aqueous solution, and the results were compared with the previously published model for the conformation of [1-penicillamine]oxytocin. The results are consistent with a conformation similar to that of [1-penicillamine]oxytocin except that, while [1-penicillamine]oxytocin in aqueous solution possesses two 1 comes from 3 (C7) type turns involving the isoleucine-3 peptide amide proton and the half-penicillamine-1 carbonyl and the asparagine-5 peptide amide proton and the isoleucine-3 carbonyl, [1-penicillamine,2-leucine)oxytocin has only the latter 1 comes from 3 turn. This difference between the antagonists is reflected in the different phi and psi angles in the three N-terminal residues of the two inhibitor analogues and in differences in the preferred side-chain conformations for several residues. One particular result of these conformational differences is that, whereas for [1-penicillamine]oxytocin the tyrosine-2 side chain is unable to assume the rotamer for maximal binding to the uterine receptor, [1-penicillamine,2-leucine]oxytoxin retains conformational and dynamic properties at residues two and three which are more similar to those of oxytocin. It is postulated that these conformational and dynamic properties are consistent with the stronger binding and, hence, greater antagonist activity for this penicillamine analogue relative to [1-penicillamine]oxytocin.
