Abstract
CXCR7 plays an emerging role in several physiological processes. A linear peptide, amantamide (1), was isolated from marine cyanobacteria, and the structure was determined by NMR and mass spectrometry. The total synthesis was achieved by solid-phase method. After screening two biological target libraries, 1 was identified as a selective CXCR7 agonist. The selective activation of CXCR7 by 1 could provide the basis for developing CXCR7-targeted therapeutics and deciphering the role of CXCR7 in different diseases.Entities:
