Conformational modifications of cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin analogs. 1984

A model for the bioactive conformation of the highly active cyclic hexapeptide somatostatin analog cyclo-(Pro-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Phe) has been proposed. As a test of this model, several compounds containing lactam and N-Me amino acid conformational modifications in the Thr-Phe-Pro-Phe beta turn were synthesized. The N-Me alanine and sarcosine substitutions for proline gave highly active analogs, while lactam dipeptides in place of Phe-Pro decreased potency. 1H n.m.r. and CD spectra of these analogs illustrate the conformational effects in solution of these modifications. The results provide additional support for the proposed conformational model.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
