Abstract
⺠Two biostable, peptidomimetic analogs of insect kinin neuropeptides were synthesized that contain no native peptide bonds. ⺠These analogs match the efficacy of a native insect kinin in an in vitro cricket diuretic assay, although they are less potent. ⺠The simplified mimetic insect kinin analogs represent a significant step toward the development of completely non-peptide analogs.
