[Cyclic analogs of substance P. I. Cyclo(11----epsilon 5)-[Lys5] substance P-(5-11)].
Two solution syntheses of cyclo(11----5 epsilon)-[Lys5]substance P-(5-11) (CLP) were carried out. The first synthesis involved the stepwise elongation of the peptide chain starting from glycine tert-butyl ester. At the stage of hexapeptide deprotection, the cleavage of Boc and But groups was accompanied by tert-butylation of the Met residue. Cyclization was carried out via a pentafluorophenyl ester intermediate. The benzyloxycarbonyl-cyclopeptide (Z-CLP) formed was deprotected by catalytic transfer hydrogenation. A (3 + 4) block coupling strategy was used in course of the repeated preparation of the linear precursor of CLP. Optimization of the cyclization and subsequent deprotecting stages lead to increased yields and facilitated the synthetic procedure. Z-CLP was found to possess myotropic activity on isolated guinea pig ileum (alpha = 0.55 +/- 0.18; pD2 = 7.97 +/- 0.20), whereas CLP was inactive in these experiments. Z-CLP causes a slight two-phase effect on arterial pressure in rats, CLP being inactive. Similar to substance P, CLP displays an antidepressant-like effect in mice as indicated by the swimming test.
