Ja. Lowe et al., DESIGN OF NOVEL CHOLECYSTOKININ-B RECEPTOR LIGANDS BASED ON THE DOUBLE-RING SYSTEM APPROACH, Regulatory peptides, 65(1), 1996, pp. 11-14
A structurally novel series of cholecystokinin-B (CCK-B) receptor liga
nds has been designed and synthesized based on the 'double-ring system
' theory of receptor recognition. Compounds 2b-cis and 2g-cis from thi
s 1-amino-2-benzyltetralin series show modest CCK-B receptor affinity,
with IC50 values of 48.5 nM and 39.0 nM, respectively. The results ar
e discussed in the context of ongoing efforts to identify the CCK-B re
ceptor binding site for nonpeptide ligands.
