Abstract:
Peptides having the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein A is D-Thr, D-Val;B is D-Phe, D-Tyr;C is D-Phe, D-Tyr, O-Me-D-Tyr;wherein the ring formed by the peptide backbone contains 26 atoms and pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acid addition salts thereof are prepared by the solid phase method. These peptides have the property of inhibiting release of insulin, inhibiting growth hormone release and inhibiting glucagon release in humans and animals without materially affecting gastric secretion. They have a longer duration of action than somatostatin.
Abstract:
Polypeptides of the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN: R is hydrogen, lower alkanoyl, Ala-Gly-, Gly-Gly-Gly-, Ala-D-Ala- or p-Glu; andX.sub.8 is L-Trp or D-Trp;Or the linear reduced form thereof; or a nontoxic acid addition salt thereof; are described. (D-Ala).sup.5 -Somatostatin and its analogues inhibit the release of growth hormone and insulin without materially affecting the secretion of glucagon, and are useful in the treatment of hyperinsulinemia and acromegaly.
Abstract:
Novel somatostatin analogues containing one or more aminoethylglycyl residues at the amino and/or carboxyl terminus or in the ring position are described. The compounds are potent and long lasting inhibitors of gastric acid secretion.
Abstract:
Cyclic undecapeptides of the general formula ##STR1## WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER OF FROM 3 TO 8 AND T may be either L-Trp or D-Trp are disclosed. These compounds inhibit the release of pituitary growth hormome, glucagon, and insulin.
Abstract:
This invention provides new compounds of formula I, ##STR1## wherein X is H-Ala, D-Ala, .beta.-Ala, propionyl or Ac-Ala (wherein Ac is pharmaceutically acceptable acyl),Y is hydrogen or a direct bond between the sulphur atoms in positions 3 and 14, andZ is the radical --COOH, --COOR.sub.1 (wherein R.sub.1 is lower alkyl), ##STR2## (wherein R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 independently are hydrogen or lower alkyl) or --CH.sub.2 OH,with the proviso that X is other than H-Ala, when Z is COOH.useful as agents for the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, acromegaly and angiopathy.
Abstract:
Polypeptides of the formula: ##STR1## THE LINEAR PRECURSORS, INTERMEDIATES AND NON-TOXIC ACID ADDITION SALTS THEREOF, WHEREINR is hydrogen or Ala--Gly;X.sub.4 is D--Nle, D--Val, D--Phe, D--Tyr or D--Trp; andX.sub.8 is L--Trp or D--TrpAre described. These polypeptides inhibit the secretion of growth hormone.
Abstract:
The tetradecapeptides ##STR1## in which Y is Gly or D-Ala are described along with corresponding non-toxic pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salts as well as intermediates useful in the synthesis of the tetradecapeptides. The tetradecapeptide in which Y is Gly as well as its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts exhibit as their principal activity the in vivo inhibition of the release of gastric acid. The tetradecapeptide in which Y is D-Ala as well as its pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts exhibit as their principal activity the in vivo stimulation of the release of growth hormone.
Abstract:
The decapeptide [D-Phe.sup.6 ]-LH-RH, salts thereof, and intermediates used for the synthesis thereof are disclosed. The decapeptide has potent LH- and FSH-releasing hormone properties.
Abstract:
Cyclic dodecapeptide analogs of somatostatin without cysteine amino acid residues and intermediates obtained in the synthesis of such compounds are described. These cyclic dodecapeptides inhibit the secretion of glucagon and hence have application in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.
