V. Ashwood et al., PD-176252 - THE FIRST HIGH-AFFINITY NONPEPTIDE GASTRIN-RELEASING PEPTIDE (BB2) RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(18), 1998, pp. 2589-2594
In this paper we describe the development of a novel series of non-pep
tide, ''balanced'' neuromedin-B preferring (BB1)/gastrin-releasing pep
tide preferring (BB2) receptor ligands as exemplified by PD 176252. PD
176252, which exhibits nanomolar affinity for both the BE, (K-i=0.15n
M) and BB2 (K-i=1.0nM) receptors, has been demonstrated to be a compet
itive antagonist at these bombesin receptor subtypes. (C) 1998 Elsevie
