RESUMO

We report here the solid-phase synthesis and vasodepressor potencies of a new lead vasopressin (VP) hypotensive peptide [1(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-pentamethylenepropionic acid)-2-0-ethyl-D-tyrosine, 3-arginine, 4-valine, 7-lysine, 9-ethylenediamine] lysine vasopressin, d(CH(2))(5)[D-Tyr(Et)(2), Arg(3), Val(4), Lys(7), Eda(9)]LVP (C) and 21 analogues of C with single modifications at positions 9 (1-13), 6 (14), 2 (16-20) and combined modifications at positions 6 and 10 (15) and 2 and 10 (21). Peptides 1-13 have the following replacements for the Eda residue at position 9 in C: (1) Gly-NH(2); (2) Gly-NH-CH(3); (3) Ala-NH(2); (4) Ala-NH-CH(3), (5) Val-NH(2); (6) Cha-NH(2); (7) Thr-NH(2); (8) Phe-NH(2); (9) Tyr-NH(2); (10) Orn-NH(2); (11) Lys-NH(2); (12) D-Lys-NH(2); (13) Arg-NH(2). Peptide 14 has the Cys residue at position 6 replaced by Pen. Peptide 15 is the retro-Tyr(10) analogue of peptide 14. Peptides 16-20 have the D-Tyr(Et) residue at position 2 in C replaced by the following substituents: D-Trp (16); D-2-Nal (17); D-Tyr(Bu(t))(18); D-Tyr(Pr(n)) (19); D-Tyr(Pr(i)) (20). Peptide 21 is the retro-Tyr(10) analogue of peptide 20. C and peptides 1-21 were evaluated for agonistic and antagonistic activities in in vivo vasopressor (V(1a)-receptor), antidiuretic (V(2)-receptor), and in in vitro (no Mg(2+)) oxytocic (OT-receptor) assays in the rat, and, like the original hypotensive peptide, d(CH(2))(5)[D-Tyr(Et)(2), Arg(3), Val(4)]AVP (A) (Manning et al., J. Peptide Science 1999, 5:472-490), were found to exhibit no or negligible activities in these assays. Vasodepressor potencies were determined in anesthetized male rats with baseline mean arterial blood pressure (BP) maintained at 100-120 mmHg. The effective dose (ED), in microg/100 g i.v., the dose required to produce a vasodepressor response of 5 cm(2) area under the vasodepressor response curve (AUC) during the 5-min period following the injection of the test peptide, was determined. The EDs measure the vasodepressor potencies of the hypotensive peptides C and 1-21 relative to that of A (ED = 4.66 microg/100 g) and to each other. The following ED values in microg/100 g were obtained for C and for peptides 1-21; C 0.53; (1) 2.41; (2) 1.13; (3) 1.62; (4) 0.80; (5) 1.83; (6) 1.56; (7) 2.12, (8) 2.58; (9) 1.40; (10) 0.88; (11) 0.90; (12) 0.85; (13) 0.68; (14) 0.99; (15) 1.05; (16) 0.66; (17) 0.54; (18) 0.33; (19) 0.18; (20) 0.15; (21) 0.14. All of the hypotensive peptides reported here are more potent than A. Peptides 20 and 21 exhibit a striking 30-fold enhancement in vasodepressor potencies relative to A. With a vasodepressor ED = 0.14, peptide 21 is the most potent VP vasodepressor agonist reported to date. Because it contains a retro-Tyr(10) residue, it is a promising new radioiodinatable ligand for the putative VP vasodilating receptor. Some of these new hypotensive peptides may be of value as research tools for studies on the complex cardiovascular actions of VP and may lead to the development of a new class of antihypertensive agents.

RESUMO

The peptide oxytocin (OT) antagonist atosiban, approved for tocolytic use in Europe (under the tradename Tractocile), represents an important new therapeutic advance for the treatment of premature labor. This paper presents some new peptide OT antagonists which offer promise as superior tocolytics. The solid phase synthesis is reported of four pairs of L and D-2-naphthylalanine (L/D-2Nal) position-2 modified analogs of the following four oxytocin (OT) antagonists: des-9-glycinamide [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-pentamethylene propionic acid), 2-O-methyltyrosine, 4-threonine]ornithine-vasotocin (desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4)]OVT) (A); the Tyr-NH(2) (9) analog of (A), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT (B); the Eda(9) analog of (A), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT (C); and the retro COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10) modified analog of (C), d(CH(2))(5)[Tyr(Me)(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10)]OVT (D). The eight new analogs of A-D are (1) desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4)]OVT, (2) desGly-NH(2),d(CH(2))(5)[2-Nal(2),Thr(4)]OVT, (3) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT, (4) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Tyr-NH(2) (9)]OVT, (5) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT, (6) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)]OVT, (7) d(CH(2))(5)[D-2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-0H)(10)]OVT, (8) d(CH(2))(5)[2Nal(2),Thr(4),Eda(9)<-- COCH(2)Ph(4-OH)(10)]OVT. Peptides 1-8 were evaluated for agonistic and antagonistic activities in in vitro and in vivo rat bioassays, in rat OT receptor (rOTR) binding assays and in human OT receptor (hOTR) and human vasopressin (VP) vasopressor (V(1a)) receptor (hV(1a)R) binding assays. Also reported are the hOTR and hV(1a)R affinity data for atosiban and for B. None of the eight peptides exhibit oxytocic or vasopressor agonism. Peptides 1-8 exhibit weak antidiuretic agonism (activities in the range 0.014-0.21 U/mg). Peptides 1-6 exhibit potent in vitro (no Mg(2+)) OT antagonism (anti-OT pA(2) values range from 7.63 to 8.08). Peptides 7 and 8 are weaker OT antagonists. Peptides 1-6 are all OT antagonists in vivo (estimated in vivo anti-OT pA(2) values in the range 6.94-7.23). Peptides 1-8 exhibit vasopressor antagonism, anti-V(1a) pA(2) values in the range 5.1-7.65. Peptides 1-8 exhibit high affinities for the rOTR (K(i) values = 0.3-7.8 nM). Peptides 1-4 and B exhibit surprisingly very high affinities for the hOTR; their K(i) values are 0.17, 0.29, 0.07, 0.14 and 0.59 nM, respectively. Peptides 1-4 and B exhibit respectively 449, 263, 1091, 546 and 129 times greater affinity for the hOTR than atosiban (K(i) = 76.4 nM). Peptides 1-4 exhibit high affinities for the hV(1a)R (K(i)s = 1.1 nM, 1.3 nM, 0.19 nM and 0.54 nM, all higher than the hV1(a)R affinities exhibited by atosiban (K(i) = 5.1 nM) and by B (K(i) = 5.26 nM). Because of their strikingly higher affinities for the hOTR than atosiban, peptides 1-4 and B exhibit gains in anti hOT/anti hV(1a) receptor selectivity compared with atosiban of 93, 64, 39, 56 and 127, respectively. These OT antagonists are thus promising candidates for development as potential new tocolytic agents.
