Stereoselectivity of the Antidopaminergic Effect of the Methyl Ester of N-Caproylprolyltyrosine (I) -a Tripeptide Analogue of Neurotensin.-It is shown, that for an optimal antidopaminergic effect both amino acid residues of the title N-caproylprolyltyrosine (I) must have L-configuration. Changing one of the amino acids by its D-enantiomer results in loss of activity. N-Caproylprolyltyrosine containing D-prolyl and D-tyrosyl residues has a "pro-dopamine" effect. -(ZAITSEVA, N.

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.
