Abstract

N-Substituted nipecotic and iso-nipecotic amides of beta-methylTrpLys tert-butyl ester were found to be novel, selective and potent agonists of the somatostatin subtype-2 receptor in vitro. For example iso-nipecotic amide 8a showed high hsst2 binding affinity (Ki = 0.5 nM) and good selectivity (h5/h2 = 832).
