Abstract: | In search of new selective antagonists and/or agonists for the human melanocortin receptor subtypes hMC1R to hMC5R to elucidate the specific biological roles of each GPCR, we modified the structures of the superagonist MT-II (Ac-Nle-cAsp-His-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH(2)) and the hMC3R/hMC4R antagonist SHU9119 (Ac-Nle-cAsp-His-D-Nal(2')-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH(2)) by replacing the His-d-Phe and His-d-Nal(2') fragments in MT-II and SHU9119, respectively, with Aba-Xxx (4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepin-3-one-Xxx) dipeptidomimetics (Xxx=D-Phe/pCl-D-Phe/D-Nal(2')). Employment of the Aba mimetic yielded novel selective high affinity hMC3R and hMC3R/hMC5R antagonists. |
