Abstract
We and others have been aiming at modifications to maintain or to enhance solubility while enabling permeability for cyclic hexapeptides. Especially, the 2-pyridyl-Ala modification was investigated, since in this case, the pyridyl-nitrogen is able to form an H-bond to the NH of the same residue. The hypothesis of a backbone side-chain interaction was demonstrated by NMR experiments, and further results obtained on a variety of pyridyl-Ala derivatives, studied systematically in the context of permeability, are presented in this contribution. Thus, this study sheds some more light on the pyridyl-Ala modification, which had been reported earlier. In addition to the in-vitro profiling, the extent of oral bioavailability was assessed in rats. In principle, the pyridyl-Ala residue can be considered as an amino acid supporting oral uptake.
