A novel hybrid melanocortin pharmacophore was designed based on the topographical similarities between the pharmacophores of Agouti related protein (AGRP) an endogenous melanocortin antagonist, and ?-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH), an endogenous melanocortin agonist. When employed in two different 23-membered macrocyclic lactam peptide templates, the designed hybrid AGRP/MSH pharmacophore yielded non-competitive ligands with nanomolar range binding affinities. The topography-based pharmacophore hybridization strategy will prove useful in development of unique non-competitive melanocortin receptor modulators.
