Syntheses are described of some linear and cyclic kinin analogues. Cyclization, by the diphenyl‐phosphorazide method, of linear peptides prepared by the solid‐phase procedure based on Fmoc chemistry, was used for preparing cyclo‐bradykinin and cyclo‐kallidin (cyclo‐Lys‐bradykinin). Removal of the protecting group from the lysine side chain of cyclo‐kallidin followed by acylation with the N‐terminal sequence of vespulakinin 1 (VSK l), Fmoc‐Thr(tBu)‐Ala‐Thr(tBu)‐Thr(tBu)‐Arg(Pmc)‐Arg(Pmc)‐Arg(Pmc)‐Gly‐OH, by the Bop‐HOBt procedure, yielded the protected Nε‐(1‐8 VSK 1)‐cyclo‐Nα‐kallidin, which was deblocked by acid treatment and purified by semi‐preparative HPLC. The diglycosylated 1‐8 VSK 1 sequence Boc‐Thr(tBu)‐Ala‐ (Galβ)Thr‐(Galβ)Thr‐Arg(Pmc)‐Arg(Pmc)‐Arg(Pmc)‐Gly‐OH was also synthesized by the solid‐phase procedure and used to prepare the Nε‐[(Galβ)Thr3, (Galβ)Thr3, 1‐8 VSK 1]‐cyclo‐Nα‐kallidin. Peptides and glycopeptides were characterized by amino acid analysis, optical rotation, analytical HPLC and FAB‐MS. Preliminary pharmacological experiments showed that the cyclic kinin analogues are much less potent than bradykinin but still show specific bradykinin‐like actions that support the hypothesis of the presence of a pharmacophore in the centre of the (brady)kinin molecule.
