    摘要: Peptides which include unnatural amino acids and which either inhibit or promote the secretion of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland and inhibit the release of steroids by the gonads. Administration of an effective amount of such peptides that are GnRH antagonists prevents ovulation of female mammalian eggs and/or the release of steroids by the gonads. The antagonists may be used to treat steroid-dependent tumors, such as prostatic and mammary tumors. The peptides are analogs of the decapeptide GnRH wherein there is at least one residue of an unnatural amino acid in the 3-, 5-, 6- and/or 8-positions. Such unnatural amino acids are useful in the synthesis of peptides and have the formula U.sup.* : ##STR1## where W is (CH.sub.2).sub.n or ##STR2## n is an integer from 1 to 6; and j=1, 2 or 3. Preferably, either Y is N--CN, X is NH and R.sub.2 is alkyl, modified alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl or methyl pridyl or ##STR3## where R.sub.11 is H or acyl.

These antagonists or pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable salts thereof, dispersed in a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable liquid or solid carrier, can be administered to mammals, including humans, to achieve a prevent elevation of ACTH, .beta.-endorphin, .beta.-lipotropin, other products of the pro-opiomelanocortin gene and corticosterone levels and/or a lowering of brain-mediated responses to stress over an extended period of time. They may also be used to affect mood, memory and learning, as well as diagnostically.

    摘要翻译: 已经合成并测试了促肾上腺皮质激素释放因子(CRF)家族的已知成员的几种多肽类似物,包括人和大鼠CRF,其具有下式:H-Ser-Glu-Glu-Pro-Pro-Ile-Ser-Leu-Asp -Leu-Thr-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Arg-Glu-Val-Leu-Glu-Met-Ala-Arg-Ala-Glu-Gln-Leu-Ala-Gln-Gln-Ala-His-Ser-Asn -Ar g-Lys-Leu-Met-Glu-Ile-Ile-NH 2。 本文公开了肽,其是哺乳动物中CRF的有竞争力的拮抗剂。 已发现特别有效的是:H-Leu-Asp-Leu-Thr-Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Arg-Glu-Met-Leu-Glu-Met-Ala-Lys-Ala-Glu-Gln -Glu-Ala-Glu-Gln-Ala-Ala-Leu-Asn-Arg-Leu-Leu-Leu-Glu-Glu-Ala-NH 2.这些拮抗剂或其药学或兽医学上可接受的盐, 可以将可接受的液体或固体载体施用于包括人在内的哺乳动物,以达到防止ACTH,β-内啡肽,β-促性腺激素,其他产物的前乳糖皮质激素基因和皮质酮水平的提高和/或降低脑 - 在长时间内介导对压力的反应。 它们也可能用于影响情绪,记忆和学习以及诊断。
