Ta. Tran et al., A NOVEL RGD CONTAINING DODECAPEPTIDOMIMETIC WHICH EXHIBITS SELECTIVE BINDING TO THE ALPHA(V)BETA(3) RECEPTOR, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(8), 1997, pp. 997-1002
We report the synthesis, bioactivity and conformational analysis by H-
1 NMR and computer simulations of a RGD containing dodecapeptidomimeti
c incorporating the beta-turn mimetic BTD. This peptidomimetic exhibit
s potent binding to the alpha(v) beta(3) receptor. The binding activit
y to the alpha(v) beta(5) receptor is approximately tenfold weaker. Un
like most active RGD containing peptides reported to date this molecul
e does not show any binding to the fibronectin (alpha(v) beta(1)) or t
he IIb/IIIa receptors. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
