In a series of analogues of the cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) the amino acid residues were gradually modified by substituting Gly by Pro in position 4, Trp by His in position 5, Met by Cle in position 6, or the Gly residue was inserted between Tyr and Met in positions 2 and 3 of the peptide chain, and in the case of the cholecystokinin heptapeptide (CCK-7) the Met residues were substituted by Nle or Aib. These peptides were investigated from the point of view of their biological potency in the peripheral and central region. From the results of the biological tests it follows that the modifications carried out in these analogues and in their Nα-Boc derivatives mean a suppression of the investigated biological activities by 2-3 orders of magnitude (at a maximum dose of the tested substance of 2 . 10-2 mg per animal).This means that a disturbance of the assumed biologically active conformation of CCK-8, connected with a considerable decrease of the biological potency of the molecule, takes place not only after introduction of the side chain into its centre (substitution of Gly4), but also after the modification of the side chains of the amino acids or by extension of the backbone in further positions around this central amino acid.

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).

The biological activities of photoaffinity labeling analogs of angiotensin II (ATII) and their precursors were measured in rabbit aorta strips in the dark. Most of the analogs behave as reversible, specific agonists, one as a competitive inhibitor. The activities are discussed in line with the current view of structural requirements. The modifications consisted of substitutions on the aromatic nuclei of Tyr4 and Phe8 in [Sar1]ATII with (4′-NO2)Phe, (4′-NH2)Phe, (4′-N3)Phe, (4′-N2+)Phe, and (4′-NH2-3′, 5′-I2)Phe. It is shown that the affinity of the ATII analogs modified in position 4 depends on the electronegativity and not on space-filling properties of the aromatic residue; rising electronegativity lowers the affinity, i.e., [Sar1, (4′-NO2)Phe4]ATII has no more measurable activity. Substituting the aromatic side chain in position 8 of [Sar1]ATII gives well-binding analogs with intrinsic activities from 0 to 100% and activity seems to depend only on stereochemical requirements. Agonists and partial agonists bear rather small groups like -NH2, -N3, -NO2, and -N2+. The only antagonist [Sar1, (4′-NH2-3′,5′-I2)Phe8]ATII resembles the antagonist [Sar1, Leu8]ATII in competitivity and binding.
