Preptin is a 34-amino-acid-long peptide derived from the E-domain of a precursor of insulin-like growth factor 2 (pro-IGF2) with bone-anabolic and insulin secretion amplifying properties. Here, we describe the synthesis, structures, and biol. activities of six shortened analogs of human preptin. Eight- and nine-amino-acid-long peptide amides corresponding to the C-terminal part of human preptin were stabilized by two types of staples to induce a higher proportion of helicity in their secondary structure. We monitored the secondary structure of the stapled peptides using CD. The biol. effect of the structural changes was determined afterwards by the ability of peptides to stimulate the release of intracellular calcium ions. We confirmed the previous observation that the stabilization of the disordered conformation of human preptin has a deleterious effect on biol. potency. However, surprisingly, one of our preptin analogs, a nonapeptide stabilized by olefin metathesis between positions 3 and 7 of the amino acid chain, had a similar ability to stimulate calcium ions’ release to the full-length human preptin. Our findings could open up new ways to design new preptin analogs, which may have potential as drugs for the treatment of diabetes and osteoporosis.
