    The sequence of a cholecystokinin (CCK) related peptide was modified to obtain analogues, which interact selectively either with CCK-B, or with delta-opioid receptors. Two kinds of peptides were designed, namely, the cyclic peptides of the H-Tyr-cyclo (D-Pen-Gly-Trp-L/D-3-transmercaptoproline)-Asp-Phe-NH2 sequence (compounds 1a and 1b, respectively), and the linear peptides of the H-Tyr-D-Val-Gly-Trp-L/D-3-trans-methylmercaptoproline-Asp-Phe- NH2 sequence (compounds 2a and 2b, respectively). The only difference between the chemical structures of the linear analogues compared to the cyclic ones is that one covalent bond has been eliminated and a sulfur atom is replaced by a methyl group. Molecular modeling showed that, among low-energy conformers of cyclic compounds 1, there are three-dimensional structures compatible to the model for delta-receptor-bound conformer, suggested earlier [G. V. Nikiforovich, V.J. Hruby, O. Prakash, and C.A. Gehrig (1991) Biopolymers, vol. 31, pp. 941-955]. Results of binding assays fully supported the rationale for the design of compounds 1 and 2. The cyclic analogue 1a has Ki values of 4.5 and > 5000 nM at delta- and mu-opioid receptors, respectively; and IC50 values of 1.6 and > 10,000 nM for CCK-A and CCK-B receptors, respectively. The results of this study demonstrate a possibility to redirect a peptide sequence that interacts with one type of receptors (CCK-B receptors) toward interaction with another type (delta-opioid receptors) belonging to a different physiological system. This redirection could be performed by changing the conformational properties of the peptide with very minimal changes in its chemical structure.

    For the first time, we have successfully applied Co2(CO)8 as an effective carbonyl source for the Pd catalysed alkoxycarbonylation of aryl halides affording the corresponding aryl esters under mild microwave conditions. A wide variety of esters and carbonyl derivatives were prepared using this protocol.
