Abstract

We report the synthesis and in vitro bioactivity assessment for an insulin-like peptide 5 (INSL5) analog that was recently discovered as a genetic mutation in an Amish population. The mutation was associated with improved metabolic status and receptor-based antagonism was proposed as a potential mechanism for the altered phenotype. We determined the specific peptide analog to be fully potent and of maximal efficacy at the human relaxin family peptide receptor 4 (RXFP-4), suggesting an alternative basis for the observed effect. In preparation of this synthetically challenging hormone, we have introduced several improvements such as implementation of isoacyl chemistry for high-efficiency preparation of INSL5 B-chain and selective intramolecular A6-11 disulfide formation as a first step in sequential disulfide assembly.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 April 2018.
All research outputs
#16,642,310
of 24,484,013 outputs
Outputs from ChemMedChem
#2,272
of 3,487 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#216,348
of 335,672 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ChemMedChem
#50
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,484,013 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,487 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,672 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
