Synthesis and characterization of more potent analogues of hirudin fragment 1-47 containing non-natural amino acids.

Biochemistry 37(39) , 13507-15, (1998)

Hirudin is the most potent and specific inhibitor of thrombin, a key enzyme in the coagulation process existing in equilibrium between its procoagulant (fast) and anticoagulant (slow) form. In a previous study, we described the solid-phase synthesis of a Trp3...

The A14 position of insulin tolerates considerable structural alterations with modest effects on the biological behavior of the hormone.

J. Protein Chem. 11(5) , 571-7, (1992)

As part of our aim to investigate the contribution of the tyrosine residue found in the 14 position of the A-chain to the biological activity of insulin, we have synthesized six insulin analogues in which the A14 Tyr has been substituted by a variety of amino...

Adding L-3-(2-Naphthyl)alanine to the genetic code of E. coli.

J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124 , 1836-1837, (2002)

An unnatural amino acid, L-3-(2-naphthyl)alanine, has been site-specifically incorporated into proteins in Escherichia coli. An orthogonal aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase was evolved that uniquely aminoacylates the unnatural amino acid onto an orthogonal amber supp...

Conformational analyses of cyclic hexapeptide analogs of somatostatin containing arylalkyl peptoid and naphthylalanine residues.

J. Pept. Sci. 5(4) , 161-75, (1999)

We report the conformational analysis by 1H-NMR in DMSO and computer simulations involving distance geometry and molecular dynamics simulations of peptoid analogs of the cyclic hexapeptide c-[Phe11-Pro6-Phe7-D-Trp8-Lys9-Thr10] L-363,301 (the numbering refers ...

Synthesis and binding properties of cyclohexapeptide somatostatin analogs containing naphthylalanine and arylalkyl peptoid residues.

J. Pept. Sci. 5(3) , 113-30, (1999)

We report the synthesis, binding affinities to the recombinant human somatostatin receptors, and structure-activity relationship studies of compounds related to the cyclic hexapeptide, c-[Pro6-Phe7-D-Trp8Lys9-Thr10-Phe11], L-363,301 (the numbering in the sequ...

The conformation of linear gramicidin is sequence dependent. A monolayer and infrared study.

Eur. Biophys. J. 22(6) , 447-52, (1994)

A comparative monolayer and infrared study of analogues of gramicidin A containing either tyrosines or naphthylalanines instead of tryptophans indicates that the nature of the aromatic residues influences the favoured conformation of the peptides. Polar resid...

Changes in the rat sleep-wake cycle produced by D,L-beta-(1-naphthyl)alanine, a tryptophan analog.

Neurosci. Lett. 93(2-3) , 287-93, (1988)

The effects of i.p. injections of D,L-beta-(1-naphthyl)alanine, a synthetic analog of tryptophan were tested on the rat sleep-waking cycle. Administration of 30, 60 and 120 mg/kg resulted in a significant increase in slow-wave sleep (SWS) and a decrease in pa...

Highly potent antidiuretic antagonists: conformational studies of vasopressin analogues modified with 1-naphthylalanine enantiomers at position 2.

Chem. Biol. Drug Des. 79(6) , 1033-42, (2012)

In this paper, we investigated the structure-activity relationship of two vasopressin analogues, [Cpa(1),(L-1-Nal)(2) ]AVP (I) and [Cpa(1),(D-Nal)(2) ]AVP (II) by NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling. Both peptides exhibit antioxytocic and antipressor pote...

Asymmetric synthesis of L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid and 3-substituted congeners--conformationally constrained analogs of phenylalanine, naphthylalanine, and leucine.

Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 9(10) , 1437-42, (1999)

Enantiopure L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, the (3R)-phenyl, (3R)-naphthyl and (3S)-isopropyl analogs were prepared based on a zinc-mediated asymmetric addition of allylic halides to the camphor sultam derivative of glyoxylic acid O-benzyl oxime.

Novel endomorphin-2 analogs with mu-opioid receptor antagonist activity.

J. Pept. Res. 66(3) , 125-31, (2005)

A series of position 4-substituted endomorphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) analogs containing 3-(1-naphthyl)-alanine (1-Nal) or 3-(2-naphthyl)-alanine (2-Nal) in L- or D-configuration, was synthesized. The opioid activity profiles of these peptides were determine...
