Synthesis and biological activity of glycosylated analogs of the C-terminal hexapeptide and heptapeptide of substance P
Abstract
The synthesis of two glycosylated analogs of Substance P is described. The activity of the peptides was assayed on the isolated guinea-pig ileum and their degradation was studied using rat hypothalamus slices. While glycosylation noticeably enhances the solubility of the corresponding compounds, the beta-glucopyranosyl moiety only slightly modifies the biological half-life and the bioactivity of the glycopeptides.
