Two complete and two partial structure-activity relationship scans of the active fragment of human growth hormone-releasing hormone, [Nle27]-hGHRH(1-29)-NH2, have identified potent agonists in vitro. Single-point replacement of each amino acid by alanine led to the identification of [Ala8]-, [Ala9]-, [Ala15]- (Felix et al. Peptides 1986 1986, 481), [Ala22]-, and [Ala28, Nle27]-hGHRH(1-29)-NH2 as being 2-6 times more potent than hGHRH(1-40)-OH (standard) in vitro. Nearly complete loss of potency… CONTINUE READING
