title: [Synthesis and biological activity of substance P analogs].
abstract: Substance P (SP) and its three analogs were synthesized through solid-phase procedure. The fully-protected peptide-resin was cleaved with anhydrous HF.--SH of Cys in [Cys5,9] SP(4-11) was protected with Acm, then deprotected through Iodine oxidation method, the disulfide bridge cyclization was formed subsequently. The crude product was purified on C18 RP-HPLC. The results of guinea-pig isolated ileum test (GPI) showed that the potency of the analogs was as follows: [AcGln5, Pro9] SP(5-11) > SP > SP(4-11) > [Cys5,9] SP(4-11). They induced GPI to contract very fast and showed the characteristics of tachykinin. On the writing test in mice, the results showed: [Cys5,9] SP(4-11) > SP > SP(4-11) > [AcGln5, Pro9] SP(5-11). The biological tests showed that the SP analogs have some extent of selectivity.
