Synthesis of substance P analogs and agonistic and antagonistic activities.
Fourteen analogs of substances P (SP), six previously synthesized by a solution method and eight newly synthesized by a solid-phase technique, have been tested for agonistic and antagonistic activities utilizing the isolated guinea pig ileum. The primary objective is to achieve effective inhibitors of SP. These analogs had agonistic activities ranging from negligible to that equivalent to SP. Six of the fourteen analogs had some degree of antagonistic activity [D-Leu8, D-Phe9]-SP is an analog which constitutes a lead to new substitutions, because it had antagonistic activity, but only negligible agonistic activity. One concept for effective antagonistic activity requires negligible or no agonistic activity.
