Human pancreatic GRF (hpGRF), rat hypothalamic GRF (rGRF) and porcine hypothalamic GRF (pGRF) have been earlier characterized and synthesized. The invention provides synthetic peptides which are extremely potent in stimulating the release of pituitary GH in animals, including humans, which have resistance to enzymatic degradation in the body, and which have the sequence: ##STR1## wherein Q.sup.1 is an omega or alpha-omega substituted alkyl, Q.sup.2 is a lower omega-quanidino-alkyl group. R.sub.2 is Ala, D-Ala, or D-N-Methyl-Ala R.sub.3 is Asp, D-Asp, Glu, or D-Glu R.sub.8 is Asn, D-Asn, Ser, or D-Ser R.sub.10 is Tyr or D-Tyr R.sub.12 is Lys, D-Lys Arg or Orn R.sub.13 is Val or Ile R.sub.14 is Leu or D-Leu R.sub.15 is Gly, N-Methyl-Gly, or D-Ala R.sub.17 is Leu or D-Leu R.sub.18 is Tyr or Ser R.sub.23 is Leu or D-Leu R.sub.24 is Gln or His R.sub.25 is Asp, D-Asp, Glu, or D-Glu R.sub.27 is Met, D-Met, Ala, Nle, Ile, Val, Nva, Leu R.sub.28 is Asn or Ser The peptides as well as nontoxic salts thereof may be administered to animals, including humans and cold-blooded animals, to stimulate the release of GH and may be used diagnostically.
人类胰腺GRF(hpGRF),大鼠下丘脑GRF(rGRF)和猪下丘脑GRF(pGRF)已经被早期表征和合成。该发明提供了合成肽,对于在动物体内刺激垂体生长激素(GH)释放非常有效,包括对抗体内酶降解的人类,其序列为:其中Q1是ω或α-ω取代烷基,Q2是较低的ω-胍基烷基。R2是Ala,D-Ala或D-N-甲基-Ala,R3是Asp,D-Asp,Glu或D-Glu,R8是Asn,D-Asn,Ser或D-Ser,R10是Tyr或D-Tyr,R12是Lys,D-Lys Arg或Orn,R13是Val或Ile,R14是Leu或D-Leu,R15是Gly,N-甲基-Gly或D-Ala,R17是Leu或D-Leu,R18是Tyr或Ser,R23是Leu或D-Leu,R24是Gln或His,R25是Asp,D-Asp,Glu或D-Glu,R27是Met,D-Met,Ala,Nle,Ile,Val,Nva,Leu,R28是Asn或Ser。这些肽及其无毒盐可以用于给动物,包括人类和冷血动物,以刺激GH的释放,并可用于诊断。
