A series of enterostatin analogues were tested to investigate the minimal structure required for activity to suppress the intake of high-fat (HF) diets. The dose-response curve to intracerebroventricular (ICV) enterostatin was U-shaped (maximal inhibition at 1 nmol). Removal or modification of the N-terminal valine from enterostatin (Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-Arg) abolished activity, as did C-terminal amidation. The tripeptide (Pro-Asp-Pro) and the cyclo-diketopiperazine cyclo-Asp-Pro retained activity whereas the linear Asp-Pro dipeptide was inactive. In rats adapted to a three-choice macronutrient diet, cyclo-Asp-Pro specifically inhibited fat intake and had near maximal inhibition (50%) at the 0.03 nmol dose. The enterostatin inhibitory effect on fat intake may reside in the cyclo-diketopiperazine molecule, cyclo-Asp-Pro.
测试了一系列肠抑素类似物,以研究抑制高脂(HF)饮食摄入活性所需的最小结构。脑室内(ICV)注射肠抑素的剂量反应曲线呈U形(1 nmol时抑制作用最大)。从肠抑素(Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-Arg)中去除或修饰N端缬氨酸会消除活性,C端酰胺化也会如此。三肽(Pro-Asp-Pro)和环二酮哌嗪环-Asp-Pro保留了活性,而线性Asp-Pro二肽则无活性。在适应三选宏量营养素饮食的大鼠中,环-Asp-Pro特异性抑制脂肪摄入,在0.03 nmol剂量时具有接近最大抑制作用(50%)。肠抑素对脂肪摄入的抑制作用可能存在于环二酮哌嗪分子环-Asp-Pro中。
