Abstract: | A series of NN703 analogues with lysine mimetics combined with naphthyl- or biphenylalanine in the core has been prepared and tested in vitro in a rat pituitary cell based assay and subsequently in vivo in pigs in a single dose at 50 nmol/kg. Re-introduction of certain pharmacophores in the C-terminal of NN703, which were originally removed during optimisation for oral bioavailability, led to unexpectedly potent compounds in vitro as well as in vivo. |
