CCK Heptapeptide Analogs: Effect of Conformational Restrictions and Standard Modifications on Selectivity and Activity at CCK-A and CCK-B Receptors
Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone involved in the regulation of gall bladder contraction, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and gastric emptying. Exogenous CCK or its close analogs suppress feeding in a number of species, including man, and endogenous CCK may have a role in the normal satiety re...

Summary: | Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone involved in the regulation of gall bladder contraction, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and gastric emptying. Exogenous CCK or its close analogs suppress feeding in a number of species, including man, and endogenous CCK may have a role in the normal satiety response. As part of our effort toward development of anorectic agents based on CCK, we investigated the structural and conformational requirements for activity at CCK-A and CCK-B receptor subtypes. |
