[AzaPhe 4 ]GHRP-6 6Fig. 1. Circular dichroism spectra of [azaPhe 4 ]GHRP-6, [aza-3-indoylgly 4 ]GHRP-6(6), and GHRP-6 in water.The evaluation of the biological activity of azapeptide 6 revealed a 10 fold loss ofbinding affinity towards the CD36 receptor, in spite of exhibiting a CD signaturesuggestive of a turn, with negative maxima at 230 and 190 nm and a positive maximumat 215 nm. Although the indolyl side chain of the Trp 4 residue of the GHRP-6 sequencewas maintained in [aza-3-indoylgly 4 ]GHRP-6, the spacial alignment and conformationalconstraints imposed by this aza-arylglycine residue appear to disfavor binding to theCD36 receptor.AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada andBoehringer Ingelheim for financial support.References1.
