Popis: Three hydroxyethylamine analogues of angiotensins II, III, and IV were prepared by solid-phase methods. The resin-bound peptide was alkylated with the iodomethylketone derivative of the N-terminal amino acid, followed by reduction to the alcohol using sodium borohydride. The iodomethylketones can be made in good yields from commercially available N-protected amino acids. The compounds were evaluated for their ability to displace labeled angiotensins from bovine adrenal membranes, and their metabolic stability tested in kidney homogenates and aminopeptidase M preparations. The hydroxyethylamine amide bond replacement reduced the affinity of the analogues; however, they were substantially more stable to enzymatic degradation.
