We report on the synthesis and the pharmacological properties of a new series of tachykinin antagonists based on the tripeptide Ac-Thr-D-Trp(CHO)-Phe-N(Me)-Bzl (1, FR113680) partly modified on the C-terminal amide part. Stereochemistry around the benzilic carbon, as well as nitrogen substitution was investigated. Selected compounds were tested on guinea pig ileum for NK-1, rat colon and rat portal vein for NK-2 and NK-3 receptors, respectively. Two of these peptides were shown to have higher tachykinin antagonist activity (pA2 > 8.8) and selectivity for NK-1 receptors compared with compound 1 taken as reference (Table 2). In addition we investigated the stability of compounds 2 and 3 on guinea pig plasma and liver homogenate.
