Abstract
Lysine occupies position 13 in the parathyroid hormone (PTH) antagonist, [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bPTH(7-34)NH2. Acylation of the ε{lunate}-amino group in lysine13 by a hydrophobic moiety is well tolerated in terms of bioactivity: the analog [Nle8,18,D-Trp12,Lys13(ε{lunate}-3-phenylpropanoyl), Tyr34]bPTH(7-34)NH2 is equivalent to the parent peptide in its affinity for PTH receptors and its ability to inhibit PTH-stimulated adenylate cyclase in both kidney- and bone-based assays. Truncation of this peptide by deletion of phenylalanyl7 with concomitant removal of the amino-terminal α-amino group yielded the analog desamino[Nle8,18,D-Trp12,Lys13(ε{lunate}-3-phenylpropanoyl), Tyr34]bPTH(8-34)NH2, an antagonist of high potency in vitro (Kb = 4 and 9 nM, Ki = 73 and 3.5 nM in kidney- and bone-based assays, respectively). Also this analog is potentially stable to aminopeptidases present in many biological systems.
