In an attempt to produce more powerful (effective) bombesin/GRP receptor antagonists, the D forms of Trp or Trp analog (Tpi) were introduced at position 6 in two pseudononapeptides, Leu13 psi (CH2NH)Leu14-bombesin(6-14) and Leu13 psi(CH2NH)Phe14-bombesin (6-14). These antagonists were tested for their ability to inhibit basal and gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) (14-27)-induced amylase release from rat pancreatic acini in a superfusion assay. They were also assessed for the inhibition of 125I-Tyr4-bombesin binding to Swiss 3T3 and small cell lung carcinoma cell line H-345 and the mitogenic response of Swiss 3T3 cells induced by GRP(14-27). The peptides, when given alone, did not stimulate amylase secretion, but were able to inhibit gastrin releasing peptide (14-27)-induced amylase release. All of the antagonists showed strong binding affinities for Swiss 3T3 and H-345 cells and suppressed the GRP(14-27)-induced increase of [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA of Swiss 3T3 cells at nanomolar concentrations. Antagonist D-Tpi6,Leu13 psi (CH2NH)Leu14-bombesin (6-14)(RC-3095) was slightly more potent in these assays than D-Trp6,Leu13 psi (CH2NH)Leu14-bombesin (6-14)(RC-3125). Nevertheless, D-Trp6,Leu13 psi (CH2NH)Phe14-bombesin (6-14) showed the highest binding affinity for Swiss 3T3 and H345 cells and it was the most potent inhibitor of GRP(14-27)-induced amylase secretion. This antagonist RC-3420 was particularly effective in inhibiting the growth of Swiss 3T3 cells, exhibiting an IC50 value less than 1 nM.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
