Abstract

A peptide containing 31 amino acids with inhibin-like activity has been synthesized by the solid-phase method. The synthetic product was shown to be homogeneous in high-performance liquid chromatography and paper electrophoresis. In the mouse pituitary incubation system, the follitropin-suppressing activity of the synthetic peptide was comparable to that of the natural product. It was also active in suppressing lutropin-releasing hormone-induced follitropin release in vivo in immature male rats.
