✦ Synopsis
Cyclization of dipeptidyl chloromethyl ketones gave 6-(4-aminobutyl)-3-carboxyethyl-5-methyl-2(1H)pyrazinone (3), 3-(4-aminobutyl)-6-carboxyethyl-5-methyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone (6), and 3,6-bis(4-aminobutyl)-5methyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone (15). Using above pyrazinone derivatives, three opioid mimetics were prepared (III-V). Derivatives containing 3 and 6 demonstrated weak I.t and 15-opioid receptor affinities ranging from 1.6 mM to 4.1 mM while the opioid mimetic containing derivative 15 displayed higher p.-opioid receptor binding affinity (K, I1 = 61 nM) and selectivity (K, ta/K~ 8 = 31).

## Abstract β‐Amino acids containing hybrid peptides and β‐peptides show great potential as peptidomimetics. In this paper we describe the synthesis and affinity toward the µ‐ and δ‐opioid receptors of β‐peptides, analogues of Leu‐enkephalin, deltorphin I, dermorphin and α,β‐hybrides, analogues of
