Abstract
Solid phase methodology on benzhydrylamine resin was used for the synthesis of three analogues of vasopressin with non-coded amino acid, 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid, in position 9. Two analogues of lysine-vasopressin ([Lys8, Acc9]vasopressin (I) and Gly3-[Lys8, Acc9]vasopressin (II)) and one analogue of arginine-vasopressin ([Arg8, Acc9]vasopressin (III)) have been synthesized. The dubious value of the biological activity of [Lys8, D-Ala9]vasopressin was reevaluated and [Lys8, L-Ala9]vasopressin was also synthesized and tested for the comparison. Differences in solution conformation of these two analogues were studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Biological activities of all analogues were either significantly lowered or almost completely eliminated. Analogues I-III were found to be completely inactive in analgesia and the CNS activities tested (active and passive avoidance).
