A structure-activity study of a C-terminal endothelin analogue
1998
: We report a structure-activity study of an endothelin (ET) analogue, obtained by introduction of a non-aminoacidic portion on the C-terminal ET pentapeptide. The peptidic moiety was modified with systematic replacement of each residue by alanine (Ala scan); further modifications were performed at the C-terminus. The biological activity was analyzed at both ET(A) and ET(B) receptor subtypes, showing that the two C-terminal residues (Ile-Trp) are very important for the activity. On the contrary, the aminoacidic central portion of the molecule appears to be much more tolerant toward modifications.
