Affinity of 1,2-substituted oxytocin analogues to the uterus receptor: Free-Wilson and Hansch analysis.
The analysis of pA2 values for 1,2-substituted oxytocin analogues suggests a significant resonance effect of p-substituted groups in 2-tyrosine when the hormone binds to its uterus receptor, whereas the N-terminal amino group exerts less clearly characterized effects (participation of its lipophilicity and molecular volume can be assumed.
