1.Synthesis and biological activity of novel small peptides with aminophosphonates moiety as NOP receptor ligands.
Naydenova ED;Todorov PT;Mateeva PI;Zamfirova RN;Pavlov ND;Todorov SB Amino Acids. 2010 Nov;39(5):1537-43. doi: 10.1007/s00726-010-0624-1. Epub 2010 May 25.
The aim of the present study was the synthesis and the biological screening of new analogs of Ac-RYYRWK-NH2, modified at the N-terminal with 1-[(methoxyphosphono)methylamino]cycloalkanecarboxylic acids. The four newly synthesized ligands for the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) receptor (NOP) have been prepared by solid-phase peptide synthesis--Fmoc-strategy. These compounds were tested for agonistic activity in vitro on electrically stimulated smooth-muscle preparations isolated from vas deferens of Wistar rats. Our data showed that substitution of Arg at position 1 with aminophosphonates moiety decreased significantly the affinity of ligands to the NOP receptor. Furthermore, the enlargement of the cycle (with 5-8 carbon atoms) additionally diminished both the activity and the selectivity for NOP-receptor.
2.Synthesis and changes in affinity for NOP and opioid receptors of novel hexapeptides containing β(2)-tryptophan analogues.
Zamfirova R;Pavlov N;Todorov P;Mateeva P;Martinez J;Calmès M;Naydenova E Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2013 Jul 15;23(14):4052-5. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2013.05.064. Epub 2013 May 28.
We report the synthesis and the biological activity of new analogues of Ac-RFMWMK-NH2 and Ac-RYYRWK-NH2, modified in position 4 and 5, respectively, with incorporation of newly synthesized β(2)-tryptophan analogues. Trp was substituted by the (S)-2-(1-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)propionic residue or by (S)-2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)propionic residue. The biological activity (pEC50 and Emax) of these compounds was tested on electrically stimulated preparations of rat vas deferens. The 5-methoxy β-tryptophan group reverses the affinity of the compounds.
3.Tryptophan replacement in the nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor ligand Ac-RYYRWK-NH2.
Carra' G;Calo' G;Spagnolo B;Guerrini R;Arduin M;Marzola E;Trapella C;Regoli D;Salvadori S J Pept Res. 2005 Jul;66(1):39-47.
In the present study we describe the in vitro pharmacological characterization of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) receptor (NOP) ligand Ac-RYYRWK-NH2 and the synthesis and biological evaluation of 13 Trp5 substituted Ac-RYYRWK-NH2 analogs. Results indicate that Ac-RYYRWK-NH2 behaves as a highly potent and selective partial agonist at the NOP receptors and that the whole indole moiety of the Trp5 side chain is not required, being a phenyl-ethyl side chain already sufficient for maintaining high potency.
