Popis: With the aim of increasing the inhibitory potency of the analgesic dipeptide H-Trp(Nps)-Lys-OMe against enkephalin-degrading aminopeptidases, the following derivatives bearing chelating groups at the N-terminus have been synthesized: Ac-Trp(Nps)-Lys-OMe (3), HS(CH2)nCO-Trp(Nps)-Lys-OMe [n = 1 (4), n = 2 (5)], MeOCO(CH2)n-Trp(Nps)-Lys-OMe [n = 1 (6), n = 2 (7)] and analogues in which the N alpha-amino group has been replaced by a methoxycarbonyl group (8) and a bidentate hydroxamate function (9), respectively. The inhibitory activities of all these compounds and the S-protected derivatives EtNHCOS(CH2)nCO-Trp(Nps)-Lys-OMe [n = 1 (16), n = (17)] against the mentioned enzyme, isolated from rat striatum, are compared with those of the parent dipeptide 2 and bestatin. All the new derivatives showed, in general, inhibitory potencies of the same order of magnitude as compound 2.
