Abstract
Seven analogues of scyliorhinin I modified in positions 3, 6, 7 and 8 were synthesized by the solid-phase method. Their agonistic activity was determined on isolated guinea pig ileum (GPI). Except for the two analogues modified in position 6, all exhibited dose-dependent activity. Analogues with Phe, D-Phe(F) in position 7 and Abu in position 8 appeared significantly more active than scyliorhinin I and substance P, whereas the analogue with NMeLeu in position 8 appeared to be twice as active as the native molecule, but displayed only 12% of the substance P activity. CD studies indicated that the analogues modified in position 8 behaved differently in the surroundings that mimics the biological membranes.
