The present invention provides stable metastin derivatives having excellent biological activities (a cancer metastasis suppressing activity, a cancer growth suppressing activity, a gonadotrophic hormone secretion stimulating activity, sex hormone secretion stimulating activity, etc.). By substituting the constituent amino acids of metastin with specific amino acids in the metastin derivative of the present invention, blood stability, solubility, etc. are more improved, gelation tendency is reduced, pharmacokinetics are also improved, and an excellent cancer metastasis suppressing activity or a cancer growth suppressing activity is exhibited. Furthermore, the metastin derivative of the present invention has the effects of suppressing gonadotropic hormone secretion, suppressing sex hormone secretion, etc.
本发明提供了稳定的metastin衍生物,具有优良的生物活性(抑制癌症转移的活性、抑制癌症生长的活性、促性腺激素分泌的活性、促性激素分泌的活性等)。通过将metastin的组成氨基酸替换为本发明的特定氨基酸,可以进一步改善血液稳定性、溶解度等,减少凝胶化倾向,改善药物代谢动力学,并表现出优异的抑制癌症转移或抑制癌症生长的活性。此外,本发明的metastin衍生物具有抑制促性腺激素分泌、抑制性激素分泌等效果。
