Effect of lipophilic character on the biological activity of synthetic angiotensin peptides.


ABSTRACT: [Ile5]angiotensin II (angiotensin) derivatives bearing acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, pentanoyl or hexanoyl moieties at the N-terminal amino group were synthesized. The myotropic effects in vitro (on guinea-pig ileum and rat uterus) of desamino-angiotensin and of the above compounds did not correlate with their partition coefficients in butan-1-ol/acetic acid/water. The pressor effects in vivo in rats showed a negative correlation with the partition coefficients, discouraging further attempts to raise the pressor potency of angiotensin analogues by increasing their hydrophobicity. The half-times for onset and reversal of the biological responses also did not correlate with partition coefficients, but reversal was retarded by the presence of a free amino group. It is concluded that partition between aqueous medium and the lipophilic receptor environment is not a limiting factor for angiotensin activity.
