Biological Activity

[Description]:

Litorin, an amphibian bombesin peptide derivative, is an bombesin receptor agonist. Litorin stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle, stimulates gastrin, gastric acid, and pancreatic secretion, and suppresses the nutriment in vivo[1][2].

[In Vitro]

99mTc-Litorin is developed for non-invasive imaging of tumors with overexpressed gastrin-releasing peptide receptors (GRP-R)[1]. [D-Phe1,Leu8,9]Litorin inhibits binding of 125I-[Tyr4] BN to murine Swiss 3T3 cells with a Ki of 5.1 nM[2]. Litorin stimulates 3H-Thymidine incorporation in murine Swiss 3T3 cells with an EC50 of 2.3 nM[2].

[In Vivo]

Litorin stimulates the contraction of smooth muscle, stimulates gastrin, gastric acid, and pancreatic secretion, and suppresses the nutriment in in vivo experiments[2].
