摘要: To optimize the structure of a μ-opioid receptor ligand, analogs H-Tyr-c[D-Lys-Xxx-Tyr-Gly] were synthesized and their biological activity was tested. The analog containing Phe(3) identified as not only exhibiting binding affinity 14-fold higher than original hit but also producing agonist 3-fold more potent morphine. NMR study suggested that trans conformation at D-Lys(2)-Xxx(3) is crucial for these cyclic peptides to maintain high affinity, selectivity, functional toward receptor.
