Application

Luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) (GnRH) is a decapeptide (pyroQHWSYKLRPG-NH2) trophic hormone that regulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. Various analogues have been developed using D-amino acids to increase resistance to degradation. These analogues are used as potential targeting agents in the development of chemotherapies and as possible agonists and antagonist of the LHRH receptor.

The receptors for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone receptor (LHRH-R) are found in >50% of human breast cancers. Doxorubicin (DOX) was linked to [D-Lys(6)]LHRH to form a cytotoxic conjugate, AN-152, which can be targeted to tumor cells expressing LHRH-R. We evaluated the

More than 50% of human breast cancers express receptors for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH-R). These receptors can be used for targeted chemotherapy with agents like AN-152, in which doxorubicin is linked to analog [D-Lys6]LHRH. We compared the effects of AN-152

A specific, high affinity receptor for GnRH in human pituitaries obtained post mortem is described. The human pituitary GnRH receptor bound GnRH, a GnRH agonist [(D-Ala6,N alpha-MeLeu7,Pro9NEt)-GnRH], and a GnRH antagonist [Ac-D-Nal(2)1,D-alpha-Me-4-ClPhe2,D-3-Pal3,D-Arg6,D-Ala10 )-GnRH] with similar affinities (KdS of 4.81 nM

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for assay of d-Lys(6)-GnRH contained in a microemulsion-type formulation is described. The peptide is extracted from the microemulsion matrix and quantified using a two-step gradient method. Separation from microemulsion compounds and potential peptide oxidation
