The structural features responsible for the high potency and opiate receptor specificity of the opioid peptide dynorphin in the guinea pig ileum myenteric plexus were examined. Successive removal of COOH-terminal amino acids from dynorphin-(1-13) demonstrated important contributions of lysine-13, lysine-11, and arginine-7 to the potency. Removal of the NH2-terminal tyrosine abolished the biologic activity. Several other structural modifications affected potency: substitution of D-alanine for glycine-2 reduced the potencies of dynorphin-(1-13) amide, -(1-11), and -(1-10); and methyl esterification of the COOH terminus enhanced the potencies of dynorphin-(1-12), -(1-10), -(1-9), -(1-8) and -(1-7). Within the dynorphin sequence, lysine-11 and arginine-7 were important for selectivity of interaction with the dynorphin receptor, which is distinguishable from the .mu. receptor in this tissue.
