N2 - In search of new selective antagonists and/or agonists for the human melanocortin receptor subtypes hMC1R to hMC5R to elucidate the specific biological roles of each GPCR, we modified the structures of the superagonist MT-II (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-d-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2) and the hMC3R/hMC4R antagonist SHU9119 (Ac-Nle-c[Asp-His-d-Nal(2′)-Arg-Trp-Lys]-NH2) by replacing the His-d-Phe and His-d-Nal(2′) fragments in MT-II and SHU9119, respectively, with Aba-Xxx (4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepin-3-one-Xxx) dipeptidomimetics (Xxx = d-Phe/pCl-d-Phe/d-Nal(2′)). Employment of the Aba mimetic yielded novel selective high affinity hMC3R and hMC3R/hMC5R antagonists.
