Herein we report the synthesis and evaluation of 14 novel peptides as potential irreversible inactivators of guinea pig liver transglutaminase (TGase). These peptides were designed to resemble Cbz-L-Gln-Gly, known to be a good TGase substrate, and to include a 1,2,4-thiadiazole group. The side chain length of the amino acid residue bearing the inhibitor group was also varied in order to permit investigation of this effect. Their inactivation rate constants were measured using a direct continuous spectrophotometric method and were found to vary between 0.330 to 0.89 microM(-1) min(-1).

We reported earlier on the synthesis and biological activity at the CCK-B receptor of cyclized derivatives of CCK. These peptides, in which the positions 28 and 31 were replaced by lysine residues, were bridged by a succinyl moiety. To determine the importance of the nature and size of the cyclic structure, cyclic analogues were synthesized in which: (i) the lysine residues were replaced by ornithine and diaminobutyric acid and (ii) the succinic moiety was replaced by a malonic, adipic and glutaric moiety. They were tested For their ability to inhibit the specific binding of 125I-BH-CCK-8 to CCK receptors in rat pancreatic acini and guinea pig brain membranes. They were also evaluated for their ability to stimulate amylase secretion from rat pancreatic acini. The potency and selectivity of these analogues were compared with those obtained with CCK-4 and compound JIMV320, a potent and selective CCK-B receptor ligand synthesized earlier in our laboratory.
