Synthesis and biological evaluation of cholecystokinin analogs in which the Asp-Phe-NH2 moiety has been replaced by a 3-amino-7-phenylheptanoic acid or a 3-amino-6-(phenyloxy)hexanoic acid
Boc-Tyr(SO3H)-Nle-Gly-Trp-Nle-Asp-2-phenylethyl ester (JMV180), an analog of the C-terminal octapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK-8), shows interesting biological activities behaving as an agonist at the high-affinity CCK binding sites and as an
