Abstract

The synthesis of novel somatostatin mimetics from 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is described. The dipeptide mimetic, which respectively displayed the side chains of tryptophan and lysine at the nitrogen and O6 atoms of the iminosugar scaffold is a ligand (Ki=3.2 μM) for the human somatostatin receptor subtype 4 (hSSTR4) but has lower affinity (Ki>100 μM) for hSSTR5. A benzylated analogue of the Trp-Lys mimetic displays higher affinity for hSSTR5 (Ki=5 μM).
