Abstract

Abstract: The N‐terminal 1–34 segment of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is fully active in vitro and in vivo and it can reproduce all biological responses in bone characteristic of the native intact PTH. Recent studies have demonstrated that N‐terminal fragments presenting the principal activating domain such as PTH(1–11) and PTH(1–14) with helicity‐enhancing substitutions yield potent analogues with PTH(1–34)‐like activity. To further investigate the role of α‐helicity on biological potency, we designed and synthesized by solid‐phase methodology the following hPTH(1–11) analogues substituted at positions 1 and/or 3 by the sterically hindered and helix‐promoting Cα‐tetrasubstituted α‐amino acids α‐amino isobutyric acid (Aib), 1‐aminocyclopentane‐1‐carboxylic acid (Ac 5 c) and 1‐aminocyclohexane‐1‐carboxylic acid (Ac 6 c): Ac 5 c‐V‐Aib‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (I); Aib‐V‐Ac 5 c‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (II); Ac 6 c‐V‐Aib‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (III); Aib‐V‐Ac 6 c‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (IV); Aib‐V‐Aib‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (V); S‐V‐Aib‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (VI), S‐V‐Ac 5 c‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (VII); Ac 5 c‐V‐S‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (VIII); Ac 6 c‐V‐S‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (IX); Ac 5 c‐V‐Ac 5 c‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (X); Ac 6 c‐V‐Ac 6 c‐E‐I‐Q‐L‐M‐H‐Q‐R‐NH 2 (XI). All analogues were biologically evaluated and conformationally characterized in 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol (TFE) solution by circular dichroism (CD). Analogues I–V, which cover the full range of biological activity observed in the present study, were further conformationally characterized in detail by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computer simulations studies. The results of ligand‐stimulated cAMP accumulation experiments indicated that analogues I and II are active, analogues III, VI and VII are very weakly active and analogues IV, V, VIII–XI are inactive. The most potent analogue, I exhibits biological activity 3500‐fold higher than that of the native PTH(1–11) and only 15‐fold weaker than that of the native sequence hPTH(1–34). Remarkably, the two most potent analogues, I and II, and the very weakly active analogues, VI and VII, exhibit similar helix contents. These results indicate that the presence of a stable N‐terminal helical sequence is an important but not sufficient condition for biological activity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
