As part of a program in which we are attempting (a) to delineate the structural features at positions 1-9 in our previously reported antidiuretic antagonists required for antidiuretic antagonism and (b) to obtain analogues with enhanced antiantidiuretic potency and/or selectivity, we have synthesized 14 new analogues of the antidiuretic antagonist [1-(beta-mercapto-beta,beta-cyclopentamethylenepropionic acid),2-D-phenylalanine,4-valine]arginine-vasopressin [d-(CH2)5-D-Phe2VAVP), in which the valine residue at position 4 was replaced by the following L-amino acids and glycine: Ile, Abu, Thr, Ala, Gln, Lys, Cha, Nle, Nva, Phe, Leu, Gly, Tyr, and Pro. These analogues are 1, d-(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Ile4AVP; 2, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Abu4AVP; 3, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Thr4AVP; 4, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Ala4AVP;5, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2AVP; 6, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Lys4AVP; 7, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Cha4AVP; 8, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Nle4AVP; 9, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Nva4AVP; 10, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Phe4AVP; 11, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Leu4AVP; 12, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Gly4AVP; 13, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Tyr4AVP; 14, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Pro4AVP. The protected intermediates required for the synthesis of all of these peptides were prepared by the solid-phase method and cleaved from the resin by ammonolysis. Following deblocking with Na in NH3 and oxidizing with K3[Fe(CN)6], each peptide was purified on Sephadex G-15 in a two-step procedure using 50% HOAc and 0.2 M HOAc as eluants. Analogues 1-14 were tested for agonistic and antagonistic activities by antidiuretic, vasopressor, and oxytocic assays in rats. Analogues 1, 2, and 4-6 exhibit no detectable antidiuretic agonistic activity. All analogues, with the exception of the Pro4-containing analogue, are antidiuretic antagonists. Their antiantidiuretic pA2 values are as follows: 1, 8.24 +/- 0.08; 2, 7.96 +/- 0.07; 3, 7.62 +/- 0.09; 4, 7.52 +/- 0.03; 5, 7.21 +/- 0.07; 6, 7.22 +/- 0.12; 7, 7.19 +/- 0.08; 8, 7.12 +/- 0.09; 9, 6.99 +/- 0.06; 10, 6.07 +/- 0.11; 11, 6.07 +/- 0.11; 12, 5.85 +/- 0.05; 13, approximately 5.57; 14, a weak agonist (0.004 U/mg). Analogues 1-14 also antagonize the vascular responses to arginine-vasopressin (AVP) and the in vitro oxytocic responses to oxytocin. Analogues 1, 2, 3, and 5 have also been shown to antagonize the in vivo oxytocic responses to oxytocin. Five of these analogues (1, 2, 3, 6, and 7) exhibit enhanced antiantidiuretic/antivasopressor selectivity. d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Lys4AVP and other position-4 analogues with side-chain functional groups may be useful covalent ligands with which to probe the structural characteristics of AVP renal and vascular receptors. With an antiantidiuretic "effective dose" of 0.46 +/- 0.07 nmol/kg and a pA2 value of 8.24 +/- 0.08, d(CH2)5-D-Phe2,Ile4AVP (1) appears to be the most potent antidiuretic antagonist reported to date.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
