A set of neurotensin[8-13] (NT[S-13]) analogues featuring substitution of non-natural cationic, amino acids in the Arg(8) position have been synthesized and tested for binding potencies against the three cloned human NT receptors (hNTR-1, hNTR-2, hNTR-3), functional agonism of the hNTR1 and for rat serum stability. Three distinct classes of peptides have been identified: Class 1 features alkyl-Arg analogues at Arg(8), Class 2 features alpha-azido-cationic amino acids at Arg(8), and Class 3 feature modified Arg(8) and Tyr(11) residues. Most of the peptides maintain or exceed the binding potency of NT[8-13] to hNTR-1. Class 2 analogues exceed the binding potency of NT[8-13] to hNTR-2 with KK19 binding with higher affinity to hNTR-2 than hNTR-1. Peptides with enhanced binding potencies for hNTR-3 were not found. All analogues are functional agonists of the hNTR1 receptor as indicated by phosphoinositide (PI) determination. Serum stability increased with peptide classification where the half-life of Class 1 < Class 2 < Class 3 which are stable to rat serum for > 24 h.
