Structure-activity relationship study of CXCR4 antagonists bearing the cyclic pentapeptide scaffold: identification of the new pharmacophore

Author affiliations

Abstract

A highly potent CXCR4 antagonist 2 [cyclo (-D-Tyr1-Arg2-Arg3-Nal4-Gly5-)] has previously been identified by screening cyclic pentapeptide libraries that were designed based on pharmacophore residues of a 14-residue peptidic CXCR4 antagonist 1. In the present study, D-Tyr and Arg in peptide 2 were replaced by a bicyclic aromatic amino acid and a cationic amino acid, respectively, and their binding activity for CXCR4 was evaluated for identification of the novel pharmacophore.
