The structures do not contain C-terminal Orn as 2-furoyl-Leu-Ile-Gly-Arg-Leu-Orn(Aloc)-NH2.

b

EC50 = concentration of compound that was able to generate 50% maximal intracellular activity. Values are expressed ± SEM (N ≥ 2 for 100 μM; N ≥ 4 for all others in Ca2+ assay; data are expressed % response ± SEM; N ≥ 8 in the RTCA assay). ND = not determined.
