A novel CCK8 deriv. bearing a chelating agent at its N- end and its oxo-rhenium(V) complex have been synthesized and characterized. The chelating agent N-{N-[3-(diphenylphosphino)propionyl]glycyl}cysteine (PN2S) ligand, the coordination set of which is made by the phosphorus atom of phosphine, the nitrogen atoms of the two amido groups and the sulfur atom of cysteine, has been used due to its high affinity towards the oxo-rhenium[V] moiety. Mol. modeling studies indicate that the CCK8 peptide adopts the right conformation for cholecystokinin receptor binding, and that modifications on the N-terminal side of CCK8 obtained by introducing chelating agents and its metal complexes should not affect the interaction with CCKA receptor.

Abstract
A novel CCK8 deriv. bearing a chelating agent at its N- end and its oxo-rhenium(V) complex have been synthesized and characterized. The chelating agent N-{N-[3-(diphenylphosphino)propionyl]glycyl}cysteine (PN2S) ligand, the coordination set of which is made by the phosphorus atom of phosphine, the nitrogen atoms of the two amido groups and the sulfur atom of cysteine, has been used due to its high affinity towards the oxo-rhenium[V] moiety. Mol. modeling studies indicate that the CCK8 peptide adopts the right conformation for cholecystokinin receptor binding, and that modifications on the N-terminal side of CCK8 obtained by introducing chelating agents and its metal complexes should not affect the interaction with CCKA receptor.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
