ABSTRACT:
High-affinity response-selective C-terminal analogs of C5a anaphylatoxin are provided. Whereas natural C5a has considerable flexibility in the C-terminal region, the analogs of the invention possess a backbone conformation which is constrained at the C-terminus to a .beta.-turn. The stabilized .beta.-turn confers a marked increase in in potency of the analogs; the particular .beta.-turn motif further confers the capability to selectively elicit certain biological responses associated with C5a. Exemplary compounds of the invention are decapeptide analogs of the formula: A1-Ser-Phe-Lys-A2-A3-A4-A5-A6-A7, with the constrained .beta.-turn being localized in the region of A4-A7.
