The article was titled 《Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of a neurotensin receptor type 2 (NTS2) analgesic macrocyclic analog》, and you may find the article in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.Application In Synthesis of H-Trp-OMe.HCl The information in the text is summarized as follows:
The current opioid crisis highlights the urgent need to develop safe and effective pain medications. Thus, neurotensin (NT) compounds represent a promising approach, as the antinociceptive effects of NT are mediated by activation of the two G protein-coupled receptor subtypes (i.e., NTS1 and NTS2) and produce potent opioid-independent analgesia. Here, we describe the synthesis and pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of the first constrained NTS2 macrocyclic NT(8-13) analog. The Tyr11 residue of NT(8-13) was replaced with a Trp residue to achieve NTS2 selectivity, and a rationally designed side-chain to side-chain macrocyclization reaction was applied between Lys8 and Trp11 to constrain the peptide in an active binding conformation and limit its recognition by proteolytic enzymes. The resulting macrocyclic peptide, CR-01-64, exhibited high-affinity for NTS2 (Ki 7.0 nM), with a more than 125-fold selectivity over NTS1, as well as an improved plasma stability profile (t1/2 > 24 h) compared with NT (t1/2 ∼ 2 min). Following intrathecal administration, CR-01-64 exerted dose-dependent and long-lasting analgesic effects in acute (ED50 = 4.6 μg/kg) and tonic (ED50 = 7.1 μg/kg) pain models as well as strong mech. anti-allodynic effects in the CFA-induced chronic inflammatory pain model. Of particular importance, this constrained NTS2 analog exerted potent nonopioid antinociceptive effects and potentiated opioid-induced analgesia when combined with morphine. At high doses, CR-01-64 did not cause hypothermia or ileum relaxation, although it did induce mild and short-term hypotension, all of which are physiol. effects associated with NTS1 activation. Overall, these results demonstrate the strong therapeutic potential of NTS2-selective analogs for the management of pain. In the experiment, the researchers used H-Trp-OMe.HCl(cas: 7524-52-9Application In Synthesis of H-Trp-OMe.HCl)
H-Trp-OMe.HCl(cas:7524-52-9) is one of amino acid derivatives. Amino acid derivatives represent an important category of skin penetration promoters. These compounds possess hydrophobic chains attached to an amino acid headgroup via a biodegradable ester bond. Due to the amphiphilic nature of these derivatives, it is possible for them to enter into the SC lipid barrier and significantly disorganize skin membrane lipids.Application In Synthesis of H-Trp-OMe.HCl
