Abstract

A panel of three lipid-modified, functionalized biphenyl cross-linkers (fBph) were synthesized and subsequently employed in the preparation of the stapled oxyntomodulin (OXM) analogs. In a luciferase-based reporter assay, these stapled OXM analogs showed varying degree of potency in activating GLP-1R and GCGR, presumably due to the disparate effect of the lipid chains on the local environment close to the ligand-receptor binding interface. In particular, the fBph-1 cross-linked peptide with the lipid chain attached to position-3 of the biphenyl cross-linker exhibited the highest dual agonist activity.
