RES-701-1 is a cyclic peptide isolated from Streptomyces sp. RES-701 t
hat has been reported to selectively inhibit the ET(B) receptor subtyp
e with an IC50 of 10 nM. Independently, we have prepared RES-701-1 and
found that it only possesses micromolar affinity for either the human
ET(A) or ET(B) receptors. The solid/solution phase synthesis is amena
ble to the multigram scale.
