Abstract

Within the family of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors, the Y-4 receptor (Y4R) is unique as it prefers pancreatic polypeptide over NPY and peptide YY. Today, low-molecular-weight Y4R ligands are lacking, in particular antagonists. We synthesized a series of peptidic NPY Y4R ligands, derived from the hexapeptide acetyl-Arg-Tyr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Tyr-NH2 (1), reported to be a Y4R partial agonist with high ...
