Background:

Gastrin antagonists show potential for treating peptic ulcer disease and gastrointestinal cancers.
Modifying gastrin structure may yield effective therapeutic agents.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize novel gastrin analogues.
To evaluate their ability to inhibit gastrin-stimulated acid secretion in a rat stomach model.

Main Methods:

Synthesis of five distinct gastrin analogues with specific amino acid substitutions and bond modifications.
Testing peptide agonist activity at varying concentrations (10^-9 to 10^-5 M).
Assessing antagonist activity by co-administering peptides with gastrin 1-17 (5.2 x 10^-10 M) at 10^-5 M.

Main Results:

Peptide [2] exhibited full biologic activity but with significantly reduced potency.
Peptide [7] demonstrated only faint biologic activity.
No synthesized peptides displayed any significant gastrin antagonist activity.

Conclusions:

The tested gastrin analogues did not effectively inhibit gastrin-stimulated acid secretion.
Further structural modifications are needed to develop potent gastrin antagonists.
