Abstract

Six analogs of LH-RH lacking N-terminal pGlu ring structure, Gly¹-LH-RH, formyl Gly¹-LH-RH, acetyl Gly¹-LH-RH, propionyl Gly¹-LH-RH, palmitoyl Gly¹-LH-RH and acetyl Ala¹-LH-RH were synthesized. The Gly¹ analog was inactive, whereas acyl Gly¹ analogs except palmitoyl Gly¹ analog showed small but significant LH-RH activity in spite of the lack of the pyrrolidone ring structure. These findings suggest that the -CO-NHCHCO- group is the minimum necessary part of the pGlu residue to exhibit the biological activity.
