We have synthesized a series of 19 analogs of the octapeptide fragment of bradykinin (BK), des-Arg9-bradykinin, in order to perform a structure–activity study of this peptide on the newly discovered B1 receptor of bradykinin. The first time, each residue of the octapeptide was replaced by L-alanine to pinpoint biologically important residues. Thereafter, both phenylalanine residues in positions 5 and 8 were substituted by L-tyrosine methyl ether, L-cyclohexylalanine, D-phenylalanine, and L-leucine. This paper describes the synthesis of the analogs by the solid phase method. A Beckman peptide synthesizer was used to assemble the peptides on the resin support. Couplings were performed by the symmetrical anhydride procedure. After cleavage with liquid HF, the peptides were purified by ion-exchange chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose and by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P2 resin. The purity of the octapeptides was then checked by tlc, paper electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, and elemental analysis.The new peptides were tested on the rabbit aorta in order to evaluate their kinin-like activities and to see if they act as antagonists. The results of the biological assays are discussed in terms of structure–activity relationships.

The natural sequence of bradykinin (BK) and 55 fragments or analogs of this peptide were prepared via the solid-phase method. The peptides were purified using ion-exchange (O-carboxymethyl (CM)) and partition (Sephadex G-25) chromatography. The purity of each peptide was established by paper and thin-layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, and biological assays. The compounds were tested in anaesthetized rats (test in vivo) and in two smooth-muscle preparations (rabbit aorta strip, cat ileum strip) in which BK produces contraction by stimulating specific receptors of different types. Some of the new peptides are interesting in that they either resist pulmonary inactivation, or are more potent than BK itself, or antagonize the myotropic effect of BK in rabbit aorta strips.

We have synthesized a series of 12 analogs of the undecapeptide substance P in order to perform a structure–activity study of this peptide. In the present work, each residue was substituted by L-alanine, and the C-terminal amide was replaced by the free carboxyl in order to pinpoint biologically important side chains and functional groups. The synthesis of the analogs was carried out by the automatic solid-phase method. Couplings were performed by the symmetrical anhydride procedure. After cleavage with liquid HF, the peptides were purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography. Their purity was assessed by thin-layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, amino acid and elemental analyses, and high pressure liquid chromatography. They were tested for biological activity in vitro on the ileum of the guinea pig, the mesenteric vein of the rabbit, and the vas deferens of the rat, and in vivo by measuring their effect on the blood pressure of the rat.

Syntheses of the modified human C-peptide containing residues suitable for the introduction of the radioactive label (tyrosine) and internal marker for monitoring binding to carrier (norvaline) and five of its fragments are described. The syntheses were performed by solid phase method using either 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl or tert-butyloxycarbonyl protecting groups. The products were purified by gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography and reversed phase HPLC. The reactivity of prepared peptides with antisera was determined and the modified C-peptide was found fully reactive.

Two peptide fragments of hepatitis B surface antigen pre-S2 region were synthesized by the solid phase method. The peptides were purified by gel filtration or ion-exchange chromatography on Sephadex SP-C-25. Both peptides induced a cellular and humoral immune response in rabbits. The results showed that fragment 14-22 of pre-S2 region contains one of the antigenic determinants.

Analogs of angiotensin II in which phenylalanine in position 8 was replaced with cymantrenylalanine or with its triphenylphosphine photosubstitution product were synthesized by the solid-phase method. On rabbit aorta strips, these peptides were found to be pure antagonists of angiotensin II. Their relative affinities are higher than most other analogs substituted in position 8 with bulky amino-acids.

Solid phase method on p-methylbenzhydrylamine resin was used for the synthesis of seven analogs of oxytocin with non-coded amino acids in position 2. [L-Phe(4-Me)2]oxytocin (I), [D-Phe(4-Me)2]oxytocin (II), [L-Phe(2-Me,4-Et)2]oxytocin (III), [D-Phe(2-Me,4-Et)2]oxytocin (IV), [D-Tyr(Me)2]oxytocin (V), [D-Tyr(Et)2]oxytocin (VI) and [L-Tyr(2-Me)2]oxytocin (VII) were synthesized. All analogs with D-stereoisomer of alkyl or alkoxy substituted phenylalanine possess uterus in vitro inhibiting activity. In the case of L-stereoisomers the structure activity relationship is more complicated. As far as the pressor activity is concerned, the analogs have either very low agonistic activity or low degree of antagonism.

Forty-six analogues of angiotensin II were obtained with the solid-phase method for peptide synthesis. The peptides were purified, using the conventional procedures; homogeneity and purity were established after paper, thin-layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, amino acid analysis, elemental analysis, and enzymatic degradation by aminopeptidase. The biological activity of all compounds was compared with that of angiotensin II on the blood pressure of anesthetized rats. The same test was used to establish the antagonistic effect of several analogues against angiotensin II.

Seven analogues of scyliorhinin I modified in positions 3, 6, 7 and 8 were synthesized by the solid-phase method. Their agonistic activity was determined on isolated guinea pig ileum (GPI). Except for the two analogues modified in position 6, all exhibited dose-dependent activity. Analogues with Phe, D-Phe(F) in position 7 and Abu in position 8 appeared significantly more active than scyliorhinin I and substance P, whereas the analogue with NMeLeu in position 8 appeared to be twice as active as the native molecule, but displayed only 12% of the substance P activity. CD studies indicated that the analogues modified in position 8 behaved differently in the surroundings that mimics the biological membranes.

To explore further the relations between the chemical structure and the biological activities of kinins, a series of bradykinin fragments and analogues was prepared by the solid-phase method. Bradykinin and kallidin were also extended at the C- or the N-terminai end by the addition of one or more residues in order to evaluate the importance of peptide chain length and of additional positive charges at the N-terminal end for the biological activity. After purification by cation-exchange chromatography and gel filtration, the compounds were characterized by thin-layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, elemental analyses, and amino acid analyses. All compounds were tested on three vascular preparations (the dog common carotid artery, the rabbit jugular vein, and the guinea pig anterior mesenteric vein) in order to measure their relative potencies as relaxant (on the dog common carotid artery) or as stimulant (the two veins) of vascular smooth muscles. The compounds were also tested on the cat terminal ileum and the rabbit aorta for comparison.The results reported in this paper indicate that all the new analogues of bradykinin as well as some fragments and analogues described before by us and by other workers are full agonists in the three vascular preparations. No partial agonists or antagonists have been identified. The order of potency of the various kinin analogues is similar in the three vascular preparations and follows the same pattern as that found in the cat terminal ileum. It is therefore concluded that (a) the three vascular preparations utilized in the present experiment possess a B2 receptor type that appears to be similar to that of the cat terminal ileum and of the rat uterus described before and (b) receptors of the B2 type are able to mediate both the inhibitory and the excitatory actions of kinins in vascular smooth muscles.

[1-sarcosine, 7-N-methyl-L-alanine, 8-isoleucine]-Angiotensin II and [1-sarcosine, 7-DL-nipecotic acid, 8-isoleucine]-angiotensin II were synthesized by the solid-phase method and purified by cation-exchange chromatography and high-pressure liquid chromatography. In the isolated rat uterus these analogs and < 0.1% of the myotropic activity of angiotensin II and inhibited angiotensin II with pA2 values of 8.2 and 7.8, respectively. In the rat pressor assay (vagotomized ganglion blocked rat) these analogs had 0.9 and 2.8%, respectively, of the pressor activity of angiotensin II. The results show that the proline residue in position 7 of [Sar1,Ile8]-angiotensin II may be replaced by other secondary amino acids without disrupting interactions at angiotensin II receptors.
