To investigate the binding mode and structureactivity relationships (SARs) of selective neurotensin receptor2 (NTS2) ligands, novel peptidepeptoid hybrids that simulate the function of the endogenous ligand were developed. Starting from our recently described NTS2 ligands of type 1, structural variants of type 2 and the metabolically stable analogues 3a,b were developed. Replacement of the proline unit by a collection of structural surrogates and evaluation of the respective molecular probes for NTS2 affinity and selectivity indicated similar SARs as described for NT(813) derivatives bound to the subtype NTS1. Peptidepeptoid hybrids 2d, 3a,b showed substantial NTS2 binding affinity (Ki=8.116nM) and 24008600-fold selectivity over NTS1. The thiazolidine derivative 3b showed metabolic stability over 32h in a serum degradation assay. In an inositol phosphate accumulation assay, the neurotensin mimetics 3a and 3b displayed an inhibition of constitutive activity exceeding 1.72.0times the activity of NT(813). The fluorinated derivative 3a could afford attractive opportunities to detect NTS2 by 19F magnetic resonance imaging.
