[Cyclic analogs of substance P. III. Cyclo (6(sup)gamma----oligomethylenediamine----11) substance P(6-11)-hexapeptides].

Cyclic analogues of substance P of the formula cyclo-[Glu-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH(CH2)nNH-], where n = 3-10, 12, and open-chain analogues (XVIIIa, b) H-Glu.(NHR)-Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NHR, where R = -CH3, -CH2CH2CH3, were synthesized. By NMR spectroscopy it was found that cyclo-compounds with n = 3-8 have regularly arranged structures, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

[Cyclic analogs of bradykinin, containing a carboxyl group].

1 alpha-beta-carboxypropionyl-cyclo(9----1 epsilon)-[Lys1, Gly6]bradykinin (Suc-c[Lys1, Gly6]B), 1 alpha-beta-carboxypropionyl-cyclo(10----1 epsilon)kallidin (Suc-cK), cyclo(10 gamma----1 epsilon)-[Glu10]kallidin (c[Glu10]K) and cyclo(11 gamma----1 epsilon)kallidylglutamic acid (cKG) were synthesized. Suc-c[Lys1, Gly6]B and Suc-cK were prepared by acylating the appropriate cyclopeptides with succinic anhydride. c[Glu10]K and cKG were obtained by the classic peptide synthesis, the cyclization being carried out with 61 and 42% yields, respectively.
