We describe synthesis, conformational studies, and binding to the five somatostatin receptors (sst 1-5) of a few analogues of the cyclic octapeptide octreotide (1), where the disulfide bridge was replaced by a dicarba group. These analogues were prepared by on-resin RCM of linear hepta-peptides containing two allylglycine residues; first- and second-generation Grubbs catalyst efficiencies were compared. The C=C bridge was hydrogenated via two different methods. Binding experiments showed that two analogues had good affinity and high selectivity for the sst5 receptor. Three-dimensional structures of the active analogues were determined by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Conformation-affinity relationships confirmed the importance of D-Phe(2) orientation for sst2 affinity. Moreover, helical propensities well correlates with the peptide sst5 affinity. The presence of the bulky aromatic side chain of Tyr(Bzl)(10) favored the formation of a 3(10)-helix and enhanced the sst5 selectivity suppressing the sst2 affinity. Finally, a new pharmacophore model for the sst5 was developed.
