    Abstract:
    [Pro9]SP and septide have been described as selective agonists for the SP receptor (NK-1 type). These two peptides contract with a great efficacy the guinea-pig ileum, but unexpectedly septide was practically devoid of affinity for the NK-1 site labelled by 3H-[Pro9]SP. Like septide, SP analogues like SP-O-CH3, [Apa9-10]SP and [Pro9,10]SP share the same peculiar properties. In addition, the contracting activity of these peptides is not explained by an interaction with NK-2 or NK-3 sites. GR 71,251, a compound which has been described as NK-1 antagonist, was more potent in inhibiting the septide- and the [Apa9-10]SP- than the [Pro9]SP-evoked contracting responses. Altogether, these results suggest that septide, SP-O-CH3, [Apa9-10]SP and [Pro9,10]SP exert their high contracting activity in the guinea-pig ileum by acting on a new type of tachykinin receptor.
