The melanocortin system is involved in the regulation of several diverse physiologic pathways. Recently we have demonstrated that replacing His6 by Pro6 in the well-known antagonist SHU-9119 resulted in a potent agonist at the hMC5R (EC50 = 0.072 nm) with full antagonist activity at the hMC3R and the hMC4R. We have designed, synthesized, and pharmacologically characterized a series of peptide analogs of MT-II and SHU-9119 at the human melanocortin receptors MC3R, MC4R and MC5R. All these peptides were modified at position 6 with a Pro instead of a His residue. In this study, we have identified new scaffolds which are antagonists at the hMC4R and hMC3R. Additionally, we have discovered a new selective agonist at the hMC4R, Ac-Nle-c[Asp-Pro-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Lys]-Pro-Val-NH2 (6, PG-931) which will be useful in further biologic investigations of the hMC4R. PG-931 was about 100-fold more selective for the hMC4R vs. the hMC3R (IC50 = 0.58 and 55 nm, respectively). Some of these new analogs have exceptional biologic potencies at the hMC5R and will be useful in further efforts to differentiate the substructural features responsible for selectivity at the hMC3R, hMC4R, and hMC5R.
