Abstract:
In this paper we describe the development of a novel series of non-peptide, "balanced" neuromedin-B preferring (BB1)/gastrin-releasing peptide preferring (BB2) receptor ligands as exemplified by PD 176252. PD 176252, which exhibits nanomolar affinity for both the BB1 (Ki = 0.15 nM) and BB2 (Ki = 1.0 nM) receptors, has been demonstrated to be a competitive antagonist at these bombesin receptor subtypes.
