Abstract: | Rigid linkers of variable length were synthesized and used to connect two NDP-α-MSH ligands. The linkers were incorporated by solid-phase synthesis. Biological evaluations indicate that there is virtually no effect of these linkers on ligand binding to the human melanocortin 4 receptor. |
