Biocytin derivatives of a superpotent analogue of alpha-melanotropin, [Nle4,D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH, were prepared. [N alpha-Bct-Ser1, Nle4,D-Phe7]-alpha-MSH and [12-Bct-N alpha-dodecanoyl-Ser1,Nle4,D-Phe 7]- alpha-MSH were synthesized by solid-phase techniques, and the coupling of biotin and 12-aminododecanoic acid was achieved through their succinimido esters. These melanotropins possessed almost identical actions to [Nle4,D-Phe 7]- alpha-MSH as determined by several melanocyte bioassays. Both biocytin derivatives were highly potent agonists and exhibited prolonged biological activity as determined in the frog and lizard skin bioassays. Both biotinylated peptides were at least equipotent to alpha-MSH in stimulating Cloudman S91 mouse melanoma tyrosinase activity. The analogues were resistant to inactivation by alpha-chymotrypsin.
