The histidine residue in angiotensin IV was replaced by various conformationally constrained amino acids. The substitution of the His4−Pro5 dipeptide sequence by the constrained Trp analogue Aia−Gly, in combination with β2hVal substitution at the N-terminus, provided a new stable analogue H-(R)-β2hVal-Tyr-Ile-Aia-Gly-Phe-OH (AL-40) that is a potent ligand for the Ang IV receptor IRAP and selective versus AP-N and the AT1 receptor.
