Abstract:
New analogues of cholecystokinin-7 (CCK-7) modified at amino acid residues 5 and 7 were assayed for their effect on gall bladder, pancreatic secretion, food intake (anorectic activity), amount of rearing (sedative activity) and analgesia, as well as their ability to inhibit 125I-CCK-8 binding to pancreatic cell membrane receptors and brain membrane receptors. The results were compared to the activities of standard compounds, CCK-8, cerulein, BOC-CCK-7 (BOC = tertbutyloxycarbonyl) and BOC-[Nle2,Nle5]CCK-7. All analogues exhibited agonistic effects. Their anorectic activity was significantly prolonged.
