Endothelin antagonistic cyclic pentapeptides

Abstract

Abstract 1. A cyclic pentapeptide of the formula: <MATH> wherein X<n> (n = 1-5) represent amino acid residues, respectively, and X<1> is DPhe, DTyr, DTha, DTza, DNal, DBta, DTrp, DTrp(O), DTrp(CHO) or DTrp((CH2)mCOR<1>) (wherein m is from 0 to 6, and R<1> is a hydroxyl group, a C1-C6 alkoxy group, an amino group or a C1-C6 monoalkylamino group, provided that when m = 0, R<1> is not a hydroxyl group), X<2> is DAsp, DGlu or DCys(O3H), X<3> is Pro, Hyp, Pip, Thz, beta Ala, or Gly, Ala, alpha Aba, Aib, Val, Nva, Leu, Ile, aIle, Nle, Met, Met(O), Met(O2), Phe, Tza, Tha, Tyr, Trp, His, Arg, Lys, Lys(CHO), Orn, Orn(CHO), Asn, Gln, Asp, Glu, Cys(O3H), Cys, Ser or Thr wherein a hydrogen atom on the alpha -amino group may be substituted by a C1-C6 alkyl or C3-C7 cycloalkyl group which may have an optional group selected from the group consisting of an imidazolyl group, a carboxyl group, a sulfo group and a hydroxyl group, X<4> is DAla, DThr, D alpha Aba, DVal, DNva, DLeu, DIle, DaIle, DNle, DtertLeu, DCpg, DChg, DDpg, DPen, Aib, Ac3c, Ac4c, Ac5c, Ac6c, Ac7c, or DPhg, DThg, DFug, DTzg or DItg wherein a hydrogen atom at the alpha -position may be substituted by a C1-C3 alkyl group, X<5> is Pro, Pip, Thz, or His, Ala, alpha Aba, Val, Nva, Leu, Ile, aIle, Nle, Met, C3al, C4al, C5al or C6al wherein a hydrogen atom on the alpha -amino group may be substituted by a C1-C6 alkyl group; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
