title: Design and pharmacology of peptoids and peptide-peptoid hybrids based on the melanocortin agonists core tetrapeptide sequence.
abstract: A series of N-substituted glycine oligomers (peptoids) and peptide-peptoid hybrids were synthesized based on the Ac-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-NH(2) tetrapeptide template. The compounds were pharmacologically characterized at the mouse melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R-MC5R) for agonist activity.
