title: Design and synthesis of metabolically stable atrial natriuretic factor analogs. Amino- and carboxy-terminal stabilization.
abstract: Two analogs of rat atrial natriuretic factor, rANF7-28-NH2 and [Mpr7,Ala20,D-Arg27]rANF7-27-NH2, were prepared by the solid-phase method. These peptides had 2-fold and 7-fold less affinity, respectively, than rANF1-28 in binding to membranes prepared from cultured aortic smooth muscle cells, and both peptides were 5-fold less potent than rANF1-28 in relaxing serotonin-contracted rabbit aortic rings. rANF7-28-NH2 was rapidly degraded by rat kidney homogenates but [Mpr7,Ala20,D-Arg27]rANF7-27-NH2 had enhanced stability against rat kidney homogenate degradation. However, this in vitro stability did not translate into an extended duration of action in vivo.
