We have investigated the effects of mono-substitutions with the conformationally restricted amino acid, 1,2,3,4 tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Tic) at position 3 in arginine vasopressin (AVP), at positions 2, 3 and 7 in potent non-selective cyclic AVP V2/V1a antagonists, in potent and
A molecular mechanics study (grid search and energy minimization) of the highly delta receptor-selective delta opioid antagonist H-Tyr-Tic-Phe-OH (TIP; Tic: tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid) resulted in four low energy conformers with energies within 2 kcal/mol of that of the lowest energy structure.

Tic, short for 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, is a kind of unnatural α-amino acids. Due to its distinct geometrical conformation and biological activity, the structure of Tic, regarded as the surrogate of proline and the rigid analogue of phenylalanine or tyrosine, has
Incorporation of L- or D-Tic into position 7 of oxytocin (OT) and its deamino analogue ([Mpa(1)]OT) resulted in four analogues, [L-Tic(7)]OT (1), [D-Tic(7)]OT (2), [Mpa(1),L-Tic(7)]OT (3) and [Mpa(1),D-Tic(7)]OT (4). Their biological properties were described by Fragiadaki et al. (Eur J
