ResumoDiverse C-terminal heptapeptide derivatives related to substance P, kassinin, physalaemin, neurokinin A and B were synthesized and the contracting activities on the guinea pig ileum as well as rat duodenum were compared. In the partial sequence of C-terminal of tachykinin peptides, -I-II-Phe- III -Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, the combination of amino acid residues at positions I and III have significant roles in contraction of smooth muscle. For the activation of rat duodenal muscle (SP-E), Asp(I) and aliphatic amino acid(III), and for guinea pig ileolonical muscle(SP-P), Gln(I) and aromatic amino acid(III) are essential. Moreover, guinea pig ileum is sensitive to a full sequence of neurokinin peptides.
