Popis: New analogues of deltorphin I (DT I, Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Asp-Val-Val-Gly-NH2 ), with the D-Ala residue in position 2 replaced by α-methyl-β-azido(amino, 1-pyrrolidinyl, 1-piperidinyl or 4-morpholinyl)alanine, were synthesized by a combination of solid-phase and solution methods. All ten new analogues were tested for receptor affinity and selectivity to μ- and δ-opioid receptors. The affinity of analogues containing (R) or (S)-α-methyl-β-azidoalanine in position 2 to δ-receptors strongly depended on the chirality of the α,α-disubstituted residue. Peptide II, containing (S)-α-methyl-β-azidoalanine in position 2, displayed excellent δ-receptor selectivity with its δ-receptor affinity being only three times lower than that of DT I.
