Abstract

Structure-activity relationships of cyclic substance P (SP) analogs were extensively studied in our laboratories utilizing the new concept of backbone cyclization. Employing the C-terminal hexapeptide SP6-11, we examined the influence of chemical changes in peptides containing backbone-to-amino-end cyclization. These changes in the ring have significant influence on activity, and should be carefully designed in order to optimize pharmacological feature.
