CRF mediates numerous stress-related endocrine, autonomic, metabolic, and behavioral responses. We present the synthesis and chemical and biological properties of astressin B analogues {cyclo(30–33)[d-Phe¹²,Nle^21,38,C^αMeLeu^27,40,Glu³⁰,Lys³³]-acetyl-h/r-CRFb>(9–41)b>}. Out of 37 novel peptides, 17 (<b>2b>, <b>4b>, <b>6b>–<b>8b>, <b>10b>, <b>11b>, <b>16b>, <b>17b>, <b>27b>, <b>29b>, <b>30b>, <b>32b>–<b>36b>) and 16 (<b>3b>, <b>5b>, <b>9b>, <b>12b>–<b>15b>, <b>18b>, <b>19b>, <b>22b>–<b>26b>, <b>28b>, <b>31b>) had kb>ib> to CRF receptors in the high picomolar and low nanomole ranges, respectively. Peptides <b>1b>, <b>2b>, and <b>11b> inhibited h/rCRF and urocortin 1-induced cAMP release from AtT20 and A7r5 cells. When Astressin C <b>2b> was administered to adrenalectomized rats at 1.0 mg subcutaneously, it inhibited ACTH release for >7 d. Additional rat data based on the inhibitory effect of (<b>2b>) on h/rCRF-induced stimulation of colonic secretory motor activity and urocortin 2-induced delayed gastric emptying also indicate a safe and long-lasting antagonistic effect. The overall properties of selected analogues may fulfill the criteria expected from clinical candidates.
