Abstract

Five new analogs of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LH-RH), des-Gly10-[Ala6]-LH-RH-ethylamide, des-Gly10-[D-Ala6]-LH-RH-ethylamide, des-Gly10-[α-aminoisobutyric acid6]-LH-RH-ethylamide, des-Gly10-[Phe5, D-Ala6]-LH-RH-ethylamide and des-Gly10-[Ile5, D-Ala6]-LH-RH-ethylamide were synthesized and evaluated for the ovulation-inducing activity in the rat, and it was found that the analogs, des-Gly10-[D-Ala6]-LH-RH-ethylamide and des-Gly10-[Phe5, D-Ala6]-LH-RH-ethylamide, were 50 times or more active than the original molecule.
