Description:
A metabolically protected analog of substance P, [pGlu5-MePhe8-MeGly9]SP(5-11) (DiMe-C7), was approximately equipotent with substance P in causing increased locomotor activity after microinfusion into the ventral tegmental area of rat brain, but the effects of DiMe-C7 on behavior were considerably prolonged. There was little metabolic degradation of tritiated DiMe-C7 for up to 1 hour after infusion, whereas tritiated substance P was completely degraded within 10 minutes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Eison, A S -- Iversen, S D -- Sandberg, B E -- Watson, S P -- Hanley, M R -- Iversen, L L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jan 8;215(4529):188-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6171884" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
