A series of opioid peptide ligands containing modified N-terminal tyrosine (Tyr) residues was prepared and evaluated against cloned human mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors. This work extends the recent discovery that (S)-4-carboxamidophenylalanine (Cpa) is an effective tyrosine bioisostere. Amino acids containing negatively charged functional groups in place of tyrosine's phenolic hydroxyl lacked receptor affinity, while exchange of Tyr for (S)-4-aminophenylalanine was modestly successful. Peptides containing the new amino acids, (S)-4-carboxamido-2,6-dimethylphenylalanine (Cdp) and (S)-beta-(2-aminobenzo[dlthiazol-6-yl)alanine (Aba), displayed binding (K-i) and functional (EC50) Profiles comparable to the parent ligands at the three receptors. UP represents the best performing Tyr surrogate in terms of overall activity, while Cpa and Aba show a subtle proclivity toward the delta receptor. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
