Synthesis and purification of two SP (6-11) analogues with enhanced selectivity for the NK-1 receptor

Int J Pept Protein Res. 1990 Feb;35(2):123-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3011.1990.tb00246.x.

Abstract

Two hexapeptide analogues of Substance P (6-11) have been synthesized. Replacement of Gly9 by proline provides a peptide with tenfold enhanced selectivity for the NK-1 receptor. The corresponding proline-containing glycopeptide incorporating a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue linked to the side-chain of Glu6 was 100 times more selective than Substance P for the same receptor.
