Radioactive peaks in position of Tyr, Tyr-Pro, Tyr-Pro-Phe or Tyr-Pro-Trp appeared regularly in both series and also in the "tetrapeptide cluster" constituted by endomorphins and their free carboxylic forms. In one of the four extracts in the "200 mu Ci" series a robust active peak in the position of endomorphin 2 could be detected.

The resulting peptides were tested for their potency to mu and delta opioid binding sites of rat brain membranes labelled with [H-3]Tyr(1)-D-Ala(2)-MePhe(4)-Gly-ol, [H-3]DAMGO and [H-3]Ile(5,6)deltorphin, respectively. All of the new derivatives displayed highly attenuated binding to both receptor types, albeit the decrease in their potency seemed to be less in the case of 6 binding. Trans position of the beta-amino groups resulted in higher binding affinities than that of the corresponding cis isomers, the latter being more flexible than the former. It is concluded that conformational constraints caused either by a rigid ring structure or cis isomers instead of D-Ala(2) in dermorphin-derived peptides are unfavourable for binding activity to either opioid receptors. We propose that interaction of the larger heptapeptide derivatives of dermorphins with the mu receptor is distinct from that of the tetrapeptide morphiceptin.}, year = {1997}, eissn = {1532-2785}, pages = {367-372}, orcid-numbers = {Fülöp, Ferenc/0000-0003-1066-5287; Tóth, Gábor/0000-0002-3604-4385} } @article{MTMT:1015649, title = {HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD FOR THE SEPARATION OF ISOMERS OF CIS-2-AMINO-CYCLOPENTANE-1-CARBOXYLIC AND TRANS-2-AMINO-CYCLOPENTANE-1-CARBOXYLIC ACID}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1015649}, author = {Péter, Antal and Fülöp, Ferenc}, doi = {10.1016/0021-9673(95)00615-T}, journal-iso = {J CHROMATOGR A}, journal = {JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY A}, volume = {715}, unique-id = {1015649}, issn = {0021-9673}, year = {1995}, eissn = {1873-3778}, pages = {219-226}, orcid-numbers = {Fülöp, Ferenc/0000-0003-1066-5287} }
