Synthesis and some pharmacological properties of two new antagonists of oxytocin.
Two new 1-beta,beta-disubstituted analogues of [1-deamino]-oxytocin dOT: [1'-(1'-thio-4'-methylcyclohexane)-acetic acid1]-oxytocin (MeCAOT), and [1'-(1'-methyl-4'-thiopiperidine)-acetic acid1]-oxytocin (MePAOT), were synthesized to determine some of the structural features that account for antioxytocic potency. The protected precursors required for these analogues were synthesized by a combination of solid phase and 8 + 1 couplings in solution. MeCAOT is an effective antagonist of oxytocic response to oxytocin (pA2 = 7.3).
