It was evaluate the effect of amino acids complex we had used viable leukocytes readily obtained from sterile whole blood as an in vitro model for cytotoxicity. The end point for cytotoxicity evaluation was lactate dehidrogenase activity (LDH) and lipid peroxidation (MDA-TBA test). We tested 5 amino acid complexes: Co-leucine, Co-methionine, Co-valine, Co-hystidine, Co-phenylalanine at different concentrations. Some of the amino acids complexes determined the decreasing of LDH level after 8h, 24h and 48h which mean that these compounds have no cytotoxicity. Concerning the lipid peroxidation the lowest level were obtained for cobalt complexes with metionine, valine, leucine and hystidine at the concentrations of 2-0,2µM and for cobalt phenylalanine complexes for all concentrations especially after 24h and 48h. The higher levels of of lipid peroxidation were in the case of Copper-valine at 2µM and 20µM after 24h, Copper-hystidine at 20µM after 8h, 24h, 48h, and Co-leucine at 20µM after 48h, having a prooxidant effect.

The elemental composition of amino acids is similar to that of the major structural components of the epithelial cells of the small intestine and other tissues. Therefore, their subcellular localization and concentration measurements are not possible by x-ray microanalysis. Radioactive isotope labeling: I131-tyrosine, Se75-methionine and S35-methionine have been successfully employed in numerous absorption and transport studies. The latter two have been utilized both in vitro and vivo, with similar results in the hamster and human small intestine. Non-radioactive Selenomethionine, since its absorption/transport behavior is assumed to be the same as that of Se75- methionine and S75-methionine could serve as a compound tracer for this amino acid.

[8-Neopentylglycine]oxytocin (II) and [8-cycloleucine]oxytocin (III) were prepared by a combination of solid-phase synthesis and fragment condensation. Both analogues exhibited decreased uterotonic potency in vitro, each being about 15-30% that of oxytocin. Analogue II also displayed similarly decreased uterotonic potency in vivo and galactogogic potency. On the other hand, analogue III exhibited almost the same potency as oxytocin in the uterotonic assay in vivo and in the galactogogic assay.

The vasoactive intestinal (poly)peptide (VIP) is a linear peptide containing 28 amino acid residues, whose primary structure indicates a low metabolic stability. The following VIP fragments, as potential metabolites, and their analogues were prepared by synthesis on a solid: [His(Dnp)1]VIP(1-10), VIP(11-14), [D-Arg12]VIP(11-14), [Lys(Pac)15,21,Arg20]VIP(15-22), and VIP(23-28). After purification, the peptides were characterized by amino acid analysis, mass spectrometry, RP HPLC, and capillary zone electrophoresis. In some tests, detailed examination of the biological activity of the substances in vivo and in vitro gave evidence of a low, residual activity of some fragments, viz. a depressoric activity in vivo for [His(Dnp)1]VIP(1-10) and a stimulating activity for the release of α-amylase in vitro and in vivo for [Lys(Pac)15,21,Arg20]VIP(15-22) and VIP(23-28).
