Popis: The peptides H-Phe-Gly-Gly-Arg-Ile-Asp-Arg-Ile-NH 2 (rANF 8−15 -NH 2 ), Ac-Phe-Gly-Gly-Arg-Ile-Asp-Arg-Ile-NH 2 (Ac-rANF 8−15 -NH 2 ), and their corresponding retro-inverso-isomeric peptides H-D-Ile-D-Arg-D-Asp-D-Ile-D-Arg-Gly-Gly-D-Phe-NH 2 (D-rANF 15−8 -NH 2 ), Ac-D-Ile-D-Arg-D-Asp-D-Ile-D-Arg-Gly-Gly-D-Phe-NH 2 (Ac-D-rANF 15−8 -NH 2 ), were evaluated for their ability to compete for the binding of 125 I-rANF 5−28 to cultured spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) aortic smooth muscle cell membranes. Their stability toward hydrolysis by the neutral endopeptidase thermolysin was also studied. The octapeptides rANF 8−15 -NH 2 and Ac-rANF 8−15 -NH 2 bound with IC 50 's of 367 pM and 1900 pM, respectively, but were rapidly hydrolyzed by thermolysin. Retro-inverso-isomers were prepared to provide molecules with an improved enzymatic stability. The retro-inverso-isomers were completely stable to thermolysin but were virtually inactive in the binding assay (IC 50 1 μ M).
