Abstract
• The conformation of Bombesin (BN) in presence of a membrane mimetic is an α-helix. • New non-peptide BN antagonists based on a rigid scaffold are reported. • Their pharmacophores have the same orientation than BN key residues for GRP-R binding. • They inhibit BN-induced Ca 2+ mobilization at nanomolar concentrations. • They inhibit BN-induced PC3 and MCF-7 proliferation at nanomolar concentrations. We report the rational design, synthesis, and...
