Abstract
The endogenous angiotensin II (Ang II) and the synthetic AT(2) selective agonist 4-aminoPhe(6)-Ang II respond very differently to identical cyclizations. Cyclizations of Ang II by thioacetalization, involving the 3 and 5 amino acid residue side chains, provided ligands with almost equipotent binding affinities to Ang II at the AT(2) receptor. In contrast, the same cyclization procedures applied on the AT(2) selective 4-aminoPhe(6)-Ang II delivered significantly less potent AT(2) receptor ligands, although the AT(2)/AT(1) selectivity was still very high. The fact that different structure-activity relationships are observed after imposing conformational restrictions on Ang II and 4-aminoPhe(6)-Ang II, respectively, suggests that the peptides, despite large similarities might adopt quite different backbone conformations when binding to the AT(2) receptor.
