Motilin antagonist was designed and synthesized on the basis of the structure-activity relationship analysis of porcine motilin that we reported recently. The drug design was performed on a specific concept to reduce a flexibility of peptide conformation of porcine motilin partial peptide by its cyclization. The cyclic peptide was synthesized using Boc (tert-butyloxycarbonyl) solid phase methodology, followed by cyclization using the azide procedure, and tested for the binding activity to motilin receptor and smooth muscle contractile activity. The cyclic peptides 3, 4, and 5 showed antagonistic property on contraction assay (pA2 [the negative logarithm of molar concentration of antagonist causing a 2-hold shift to the right of the concentration-response curve for motilin]: 4.5, 4.34, and 4.04, respectively, in rabbit duodenum) and no contractile activity even at high concentration.
