ABSTRACT
A series of C-terminus capped dipeptides and tripeptides was synthesized as growth hormone (GH) secretagogues. Among them, tripeptide Aib-D-Trp-D-homoPhe-OEt showed low nanomolar activity in the rat pituitary assay. Thus, we have demonstrated that the GH secretagogue activity of the hexa-hepta-GH releasing peptides can be mimicked at the tripeptide level.
