Abstract

Three analogues of scyliorhinin I with Gly in position 8 substituted with Leu, Sar and Pro residues, were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The agonistic activity was determined on isolated guinea pig ileum. Analogues with Sar and Pro in position 8 appeared to be significantly more active than scyliorhinin I and the analogues with Leu in this position. For all analogues the Hill cooperativity coefficient is much lower than one suggesting that the interaction of these peptides with tachykinin receptor(s) in not a one-step reaction.
