title: Preparation and receptor binding affinities of cyclic C-terminal neurotensin (8-13) and (9-13) analogues.
abstract: Cyclic analogues of neurotensin (NT) C-terminal fragments NT(8-13) and NT(9-13) were produced via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution of the Tyr(11) phenoxide anion on a 6-bromohexanoyl side chain substituted at position 8 or 9 and tested for NT receptor binding affinity.
