It has been proposed14 that a ß turn or other chain-reversal structure involving the residues His-Phe-Arg-Trp in-melanocyte stimulating hormone (-MSH) contributes to the bioactive conformation of this peptide hormone. This proposal is supported by the observation that [Cys4, Cys10]--MSH exhibits superagonist (> 10000 a-MSH) activity in the frog skin bioassay and is about 30 times more potent in the lizard skin bioassay. Studies on the possible role of a reverse turn in the biological activities of [Cys4, Cys10]--MSH have been extended with the synthesis ofAc-[Cys4, Cys10]-a-MSH4-10-NH2 and Ac-[Cys4, Cys10]-a-MSH4_13-NH2. The cyclic 4-10-heptapeptide was found to be less active than-MSH inboth the frogand lizard skin bioassays, but much more potent (100 times) than its linear congener. Ac-a-MSH4_10-NH2 in thefrog. With the cyclic 4-13-decapeptide, superagonist potency (equipotent to the cyclic tridecapeptide) was observed on the frog skin, and the analogue was equipotent to-MSH in the lizard skin assay. These results support the suggestion that a cyclic reverse-turn conformation in-MSH plays a significant
