Peptides U 0400Synthesis and Anti-Dopamine Effect of Conformationally Restricted Analogues of the Dipeptide Neuroleptic Dilept. -Three dipeptides are synthesized, which represent βI-turn (Ib), βII'-turn (IIa) and βII-turn analogues (IIb) of the new neuroleptic dilept (Ia). Studies on the anti-dopamine effect of these analogues reveal that only the βI-turn analogue (Ib) containing the α-methyl group possesses biological activity higher than dilept itself, while the lactam-containing βII-turn analogues (II) are inactive. It is concluded that the βI-turn form of dilept might be the biologically active form. -(ZAITSEVA, N. I.; GUDASHEVA, T. A.; OSTROVSKAYA, R. U.; RETYUNSKAYA, M. V.; BONDARENKO, N. A.; IGNASHIN, A.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
