ABSTRACT
Four new [D-MetO2]dermorphin tetrapeptides with substituted N- and C-terminal groups and a thymine-modified alanine residue at position 4 were prepared and tested for their activity. All analogues were found to be mu-opioid receptor ligands. Two of them, H-Tyr-D-MetO-Phe-TalNHR (R = H, Ad) displayed an extremely high mu-opioid receptor selectivity comparable with that of the most mu-selective agonists among opioid peptides.
