In Search of NPY Y4R Antagonists: Incorporation of Carbamoylated Arginine, Aza-Amino Acids, or d-Amino Acids into Oligopeptides Derived from the C-Termini of the Endogenous Agonists.


ABSTRACT: The cross-linked pentapeptides (2R,7R)-diaminooctanedioyl-bis(Tyr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Tyr-amide) ((2R,7R)-BVD-74D, (2R,7R)-1) and octanedioyl-bis(Tyr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Tyr-amide) (2) as well as the pentapeptide Ac-Tyr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Tyr-amide (3) were previously described as neuropeptide Y Y4 receptor (Y4R) partial agonists. Here, we report on a series of analogues of (2R,7R)-1 and 2 in which Arg2, Leu3, or Arg4 were replaced by the respective aza-amino acids. The replacement of Arg2 in 3 with a carbamoylated arginine building block and the extension of the N-terminus by an additional arginine led to the high-affinity hexapeptide Ac-Arg-Tyr-N
