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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand

D017450 Receptors, Opioid, mu A class of opioid receptors recognized by its pharmacological profile. Mu opioid receptors bind, in decreasing order of affinity, endorphins, dynorphins, met-enkephalin, and leu-enkephalin. They have also been shown to be molecular receptors for morphine.
