Biological Activity
[D-Phe2,6, Pro3]-LH-RH (0.1 pM-1 mM; 24 h) does not alter GnRH binding capacity in pituitary cells but blocks the increase in sites induced by GnRH[2].
[D-Phe2,6, Pro3]-LH-RH (2.7 μM) causes significant increases in thyrotropin (TSH) secretion in pituitaries[3].

[D-Phe2,6, Pro3]-LH-RH (750 μg, single injection at 12:00 h on the day of proestrus) inhibits ovulation in 100% of treated rats[1].

Animal Model:Adult rhesus monkeys[1]
-
Dosage:300 mg/monkey
-
Administration:SC, every 8 h at a dose of 50 mg/injection; six injections
-
Result:Showed antagonistic activity: 1) an immediate cessation of the LU and FSH surges; 2) prolonged surges and/or abnormal, discontinuous gonadotropin secretion; 3) LH and FSH peaks of diminished magnitude; 4) the absence of concomitant LH and FSH midcycle peaks; 3) LH and FSH peaks of diminished magnitude; 4) the absence of concomitant LH and FSH midcycle peaks; 5) suppression of serum estradiol concentrations without concurrent reductions in serum gonadotropin values; or 6) a failure to identify corpora lutea at the time of laparoscopic visualization of the ovaries.

Solvent & Solubility

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:
1. Calculate the length of the peptide.
2. Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:
| Contents | Assign value | |
|---|---|---|
| Acidic amino acid | Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. | -1 |
| Basic amino acid | Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 | +1 |
| Neutral amino acid | Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) | 0 |
3. Recommended solution:
| Overall charge of peptide | Details |
|---|---|
| Negative (<0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL). 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide. |
| Positive (>0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in water first. 2. If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution. 3. If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO. |
| Zero (=0) |
1. Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first. 2. For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration. |
