New highly potent dipeptidic growth hormone secretagogues with low molecular weight
摘要:
Based on NN703, low molecular weight growth hormone secretagouges (GHSs) with a reduced number of hydrogen binding sites were designed by removal of the C-terminal amide group. The compounds were highly potent in combination with high efficacy in a rat pituitary cell assay, being characterized with EC50 values down to 0.8 nM. Selected compounds were tested in in vivo animal models. The oral bioavailability in dogs was 16-44%. Also, the ED50 values of the compounds were determined both in dog and swine.
