Dermorphin (H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2) and seven analogs were examined for their biostability towards rat brain homogenate; half-lives for the parent were 127 min and 48 min, respectively, with Gly4-Tyr5 cleavage confirmed by collection and identification of the N-terminal fragment. Surprisingly, several analogs with additional D-amino acid substitutions were cleaved more rapidly than the parent, suggesting the importance of remote secondary structural features for differential enzyme susceptibility.
对脑啡肽(H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2)及其七种类似物进行了大鼠脑匀浆生物稳定性检测;母体的半衰期分别为127分钟和48分钟,通过对N端片段的收集和鉴定证实了Gly4-Tyr5的裂解。令人惊讶的是,几种具有额外D-氨基酸取代的类似物比母体裂解得更快,这表明远距离二级结构特征对不同酶敏感性的重要性。
