Abstract

Three new cyclic substance P analogues were prepared to examine the possible role of a pseudocyclic turn structure for receptor recognition. In the guinea pig isolated ileum [Cy over(over(s5, C, {top square bracket}),) ys11]-SP5-11 - NH2 and [Cy over(over(s6, C, {top square bracket}),) ys11]-SP5-11 - NH2 were inactive at concentrations up to 100 μM, while [Cy over(over(s5, C, {top square bracket}),) ys6, Nle11] - SP was a weak agonist. The order of relative affinities on the rat brain radioreceptor assay was as follows: [Cy over(over(s5, C, {top square bracket}),) ys6, Nle11] - SP> [Cy over(over(s5, C, {top square bracket}),) ys11] - SP5-11 - NH2 > [Cy over(over(s6, C, {top square bracket}),) ys11] - SP5-11 - NH2. We interpret these results to indicate that a pseudocyclic structure of the 5-11 sequence may not be an important factor involved in the receptor recognition of substance P.
