Two disulfide analogues (types A and B) of endothelin-3 (ET-3; formerly, rat ET), sarafotoxin S6b, and apamin, were synthesized to determine their disulfide structures as in the case of endothelin-1 (ET-1; formerly human and porcine ET). The disulfide structures of ET-3 and sarafotoxin S6b were found to be identical with that of ET-1 (type A) but distinct from that of apamin (type B). The vasoconstricting activities of ET-3 and sarafotoxin S6b were about one-60th and one-third that of ET-1, respectively. Such different biological potencies between endothelins and sarafotoxin S6b could be largely attributed to the sequence heterogeneity at the N-terminal portion. ET-1 analogues were also synthesized to clarify the structure-activity relationships. The opening of any disulfide bond in the ET-1 molecule extremely decreased the activity, while oxidation of the Met residue did not alter it. Amidation of the terminal COOH group and extension of the Lys-Arg sequence to the N-terminus led to 16- and 540-fold decreases in activity, respectively. Removal of the C-terminal Trp residue resulted in complete loss of the activity. The other disulfide analogues (type B and C) of ET-1 showed markedly lower activity than the parent molecule (type A). These results indicated the importance of the whole molecule with the proper double cyclic structure for determining its active conformation.
