Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (MRs), comprising five subtypes (M1R-M5R) in humans, exhibit a high degree of structural similarity. Therefore, subtype-selective MR agonists and antagonists are lacking. We present an approach to highly M2R-selective MR antagonists based on the conjugation of di- or tripeptides to M2R-preferring dibenzodiazepinone-type MR antagonists. M2R selectivity was dependent on the peptide sequence and on the type of linker. The introduction of basic amino acids resulted in improved M2R selectivity (e.g., UR-AP148 (48): pKi (hM2R) of 8.97, ratio of Ki M1R/M2R/M3R/M4R/M5R of 49:1:6500:60:400) compared to reported pyridobenzo- and dibenzodiazepinone-type MR ligands. A supposed dualsteric binding mode of the DIBA-peptide conjugates, such as 48, at MRs was supported by molecular dynamics simulations.

The dimethylsulfoxonium methylide is described as a unique and useful reagent for the simultaneous deprotection of amino and carboxyl function of N-Fmoc-α-amino acid and N-Fmoc-peptide esters. The new methodology was applied successfully both to solution- and solid-phase peptide synthesis. The adopted methodology was extended successfully also to peptides containing amino acids bearing acid-sensitive protecting group in side chains. Furthermore no measurable epimerization was observed in the deprotection reaction of N-Fmoc-dipeptide methyl esters with dimethylsulfoxonium methylide.
Thermitase - A Thermostable Serine Protease. I. Synthesis of Alanine Peptide Esters as Substrates of the Enzyme
Jahreis, Guenther,Fittkau, Siegfried
, p. 35 - 40 (2007/10/02)
The synthesis of N-acetylated and N-succinylated peptide esters of alanine is described.The peptides are built up from the Z-protected peptides by liquid phase fragment condensation and by acylation of the deprotected peptide esters.The kinetic parameters Km and kcat of some compounds are presented.
