title: Synthesis of somatostatin mimetics based on 1-deoxynojirimycin.
abstract: The synthesis of novel somatostatin mimetics from 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is described. The dipeptide mimetic, which respectively displayed the side chains of tryptophan and lysine at the nitrogen and O6 atoms of the iminosugar scaffold is a ligand (K(i)=3.2 microM) for the human somatostatin receptor subtype 4 (hSSTR4) but has lower affinity (K(i)>100 microM) for hSSTR5. A benzylated analogue of the Trp-Lys mimetic displays higher affinity for hSSTR5 (K(i)=5 microM).
