Studies on neurokinin antagonists. 2. Design and structure-activity relationships of novel tripeptide substance P antagonists, N. alpha.-[N. alpha.-(N. alpha.-acetyl-L- …
Continuing studies on the chemical modification of the previously reported novel tripeptide SP antagonist, Nu-[Nu-[Nu-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl) glutaminyl]-~-formyl-~-tryptophyl] phenylalanine benzyl ester [Boc-Gln-D-Trp-(CH0)-Phe-OBzl (l)], are described herein. We initially investigated the stability of 1 in guinea pig plasma and liver homogenate to elucidate the most labile part in the structure. It was consequently revealed that the benzyl ester part ...
