The novel amide linked angiotensin II (ANG II) cyclic analogues: gamma, epsilon -cyclo(3, 5)-[Sar(1)-Glu(3)-Lys(5)-Ile(8)] ANG II (I) and gamma, epsilon -cyclo(3, 5)-[Sar(1)-Glu(3)-Lys(5)-Phe(8)] ANG II (II) have been designed, synthesized and bioassayed in anesthetized rabbits in order to unravel structural ring cluster characteristics important for receptor activation. Analogue I with Ile at position 8 was an inhibitor of Angiotensin II while analogue II with Phe at position 8 was found to be an agonist. Similar results were reported for cyclic compounds that have reversed the linking between positions 3 and 5. The overall results show that positions 3 and 5 do not govern the biological activity of the synthetic analogues. It also appears that the aromatic ring cluster (Tyr-His-Phe) in agonist peptides is an essential stereo-electronic feature for Angiotensin II to exert its biological activity. A non-peptide mimetic of ANG II, 1-[2'-[(N-benzyl)tetrazol-5-yl]biphenyl-4-yl]methyl]-2-hydroxymethylbenzimidazole (BZI8) has been designed and synthesized. This molecule is more rigid and much less active than AT(1) non-peptide mimetic losartan probably because it lacks to mimic the orientation of tetrazole and the pharmacophore segments of butyl chain and imidazole ring.
