title: New proglumide-analogue CCK receptor antagonists: very potent and selective for peripheral tissues.
abstract: The present study evaluates the ability of two recently synthesized analogues of proglumide, both 4-benzamido-N,N-di-alkyl-glutaramic acid derivatives, to act as cholecystokinin receptor antagonists. Both new antagonists inhibited cholecystokinin-stimulated amylase release and, similarly, binding of 125I-cholecystokinin to isolated rat pancreatic acini. These effects displayed competitive kinetics; both antagonists showed no agonist activity and were specific in that only those secretagogues were inhibited that interact with the cholecystokinin receptor. Both antagonists also inhibited binding of 125I-cholecystokinin to mouse pancreatic membrane particles similarly to results with rat pancreatic acini. With the more potent of the two new antagonists, half-maximal inhibition of action and binding of cholecystokinin was observed with low concentrations of approximately 10(-7) M; compared with proglumide, the new antagonists were as much as 4,000 times more potent. Unlike proglumide, which inhibits binding of cholecystokinin to pancreas and brain tissue similarly, both antagonists inhibited binding of cholecystokinin to the pancreas at much lower concentrations compared with brain. The more potent of the inhibitors was 300 times more potent in inhibiting binding of cholecystokinin to pancreatic tissues compared with brain.
