AI Technical Summary
The existing atosiban acetate, as an oxytocin receptor antagonist, has a weak antagonistic effect, requires high-dose intravenous infusion, and has high treatment costs, making it ineffective in preventing and treating preterm birth.
By fatty acid acylation of ornithine residues in the atosiban peptide sequence, atosiban derivatives or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts with higher oxytocin antagonistic efficacy are prepared. The preferred L1 group is -HN-(CH2)2-O-(CH2)2-O-CH2-CO-, the L2 group is γ-Glu or β-Asp residues, and the L3 group is C12-20 aliphatic monoacid or diacid residues, which are linked by amide bonds to form new compound structures.
It significantly improves the efficacy of oxytocin antagonism, effectively preventing and/or treating preterm birth, and reducing treatment costs.
