Abstract:
Thirty four N-alkylaminoacids (Arg, Trp, Nal, Pro, Hyp, L and D) and derivatives were prepared by a process that included reductive alkylation of the amino function. Both solid phase and solution synthesis was used. Title substances displayed binding activity on melanocortin receptors MC(1,3-5) reaching the low micromolar range.
