The constitutional similarity with different secondary structure preference between the Aba-Gly and the spiro-Aba-Gly scaffolds were exploited to design the novel endomorphin-2 analogs Tyr-spiro-( R/ S)-Aba-Gly-Phe-NH(2) ( 1 and 2) and Tyr-( R/ S)-Aba-Gly-Phe-NH(2) ( 3 and 4). The ( R)-spiro analog 1 was found to be a potent and selective micro-opioid agonist/partial agonist ( K (imicro) = 29.3 nM, IC(50) = 50 nM, K(e) = 0.57). NMR experiments and molecular modeling indicated that its backbone adopts mainly a beta-turn in aqueous solution.
