Abstract

The pharmacologic and pharmacokinetic properties were evaluated in a series of antiuterotonic oxytocin analogs, modified at positions 1, 2, 4, 8 and, in one case, position 9 of the oxytocin (OT) molecule. [Mpa1,D-Tyr2(Et),Val4,Orn8,desGly9]-OT, [Mpa1,Tyr2(Et),Val4,Orn8]-OT and [Mpa1,D-Tyr2,Val4,Orn8]-OT displayed similar plasma clearance rates (Clps) using the constant infusion method in rats. Two analogs, [Mpa1,D-Tyr2(Et),Val4,Orn8]-OT and, particularly, [Mpa1,D-Tyr2(Et),Thr4,Orn8]-OT, were cleared at significantly higher rates compared with the others. [Mpa1, D-Tyr2(Et), Val4, Orn8]-OT and [Mpa1, D-Tyr2(Et), Thr4, Orn8, desGly9]-OT were most potent in eliciting a short-term in vivo antiuterotonic effect, whereas the duration of effect was longest for [Mpa1, D-Tyr2, Val4, Orn8]-OT and [Mpa1, D-Tyr2(Et), Thr4, Orn8, desGly9]-OT. The Clp of [Mpa1, D-Tyr2, Val4, Orn8]-OT was similar regardless of the infusion rate. No relationship between antiuterotonic effect and Clp of the five peptides could be demonstrated, and no significant linear correlation between Clp and effect duration was found. The apparent volumes of distribution for the present analogs were 10-fold larger than the blood volume, a finding to be considered when measuring in vivo antagonistic activity. The 24-h urinary excretion ranged from 14.3 to 25.6% of the i.v. dose and was negatively correlated with peptide lipophilicity. It is concluded that, in addition to diverging pharmacologic properties, peptide analogs may differ markedly in kinetic parameters like Clp, volumes of distribution and urinary excretion despite minor molecular modifications.
