摘要： Antide is the decapeptide, N--Ac--D--2--Nal,D--pClPhe, D--3--Pal, Ser,NicLys, D--NicLys, Leu, ILys, Pro, D--Ala,NH.sub.2 which is an antagonist of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH). This decapeptide, like others of the present invention, has high antiovulatory activity (AOA) and releases negligible histamine. Antide is scheduled for scale-up, safety testing and evaluation in the experimental primate and in clinical medicine. Numerous other peptides having structures related to Antide were prepared and tested. These peptides had variations primarily in positions 5, 6, 7, and 8. Of these, N--Ac--D--2--Nal, D--pClPhe,D--3--Pal,Ser,PicLys,cis--DpzACAla, Leu,ILys,pro,D--Ala--NH.sub.2 was one of the most potent and had higher antiovulatory activity than Antide, i.e. 73%/0.25 ug and 100%/0.5 ug vs. 36%/0.5 ug and 100%/1.0 ug. Antide showed significant, (p

摘要： The objective of the research was the achievement of antagonists of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) which would have adequate antagonistic activity to prevent ovulation, and yet would not have a pronounced structural feature to release a histamine, in vivo. Some existing antagonists of LHRH produced edema of the face and extremities in rats. This recent recognition of the edematogenic and anaphylactoid activities of an antagonist of LHRH necessitated new structural changes if such antagonists were to be considered for potential use as contraceptive agents in the human. Consequently, 57 peptides have been designed, synthesized and bioassayed toward achieving a potent antagonist which releases negligible histamine. Since there was no predictable structural sequence which offered assurance of such achievement, it was necessary to design, synthesize and bioassay a very large number of peptides having diverse structural changes toward ultimately discovering an antagonist with the necessary potency of antiovulatory activity and the necessary negligible release of histamine. Ultimately, this objective was achieved, and this application describes the diverse and unpredictable many positive steps which finally led to the objectives.

摘要： The chemical structure of the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) was elucidatd in 1971. Since then, a very large number of international investigators synthesized more than 100 monosubstituted and about 14 disubstituted analogs of LHRH. All of these analogs were synthesized from natural amino acids having the L-configuration. Not one of these approximately 114 analogs showed agonist activity equivalent to that of LHRH. Two of the 114 were about 60% as active, and neither one has had any utility. We have investigated the six individual L-amino acids which occur in positions 5, 7, and 8 of the four naturally occurring LHRH's which exist in porcine/ovine, salmon, and chicken tissue. There are a total of 16 peptides with these structural features, and we have discovered that not only one but five of these peptides are not only equivalent in certain assays in activity to LHRH, but that two of the five are surprisingly superior to LHRH in activity, and that two of the five have a unique and unpredictable dissociation of activity for the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). These five peptides are:A. p-Glu His Trp Ser His Gly Leu Arg Pro Gly-NH.sub.2,B. p-Glu His Trp Ser His Gly Trp Arg Pro Gly-NH.sub.2,C. p-Glu His Trp Ser His Gly Trp Gln Pro Gly-NH.sub.2,D. p-Glu His Trp Ser His Gly Trp Leu Pro Gly-NH.sub.2,E. p-Glu His Trp Ser Tyr Gly Trp Arg Pro Gly-NH.sub.2,Peptide C might be the naturally occurring as FSHRH, because of its dissociated release of LH and FSH. The discovery for the first time of decapeptides with L-amino acids equal to or more potent than LHRH was based on about 14 years of background. Our new peptides are particularly useful in medical fields for pituitary stimulation and inhibition, for enhancement or inhibition of fertility in humans and animals, for the therapy of hormone-dependent tumors, for special effects on sexual behavior in humans and animals, and for design of new categories of superagonists and antagonists. Extrapituitary effects by these new peptides may be observed on the central nervous system or reproductive organs of humans and animals that are different from those of LHRH. The latter will be especially true if some of these new peptides are found to be native peptides such as FSH-RH or the LHRH-like peptides that have been detected in the gonads that are yet to be identified. The reason for believing this projection is possible is that some of these peptides have high or unique LH and FSH releasing activity in the LHRH radioreceptor assay, as exemplified by the biological activities of peptide C.
