Abstract

ICw= 125 nM, CCK-B IC,= 2580 nM, ratio= 21). The methyleneamino and hydroxyethylene replacements, which have been used elsewhere as transition-state inhibitors of enzymes, are poor mimics of the amide in these CCK-B receptor ligands. Some of the steric, lipophilic, and hydrogen bonding properties of amide replacements incorporated into the simple amide, N-methylacetamide, have been quantified with the aid of molecular modeling. ...
