  • Patent number: 4661472
    Abstract: Peptides which inhibit the secretion of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland and inhibit the release of steroids by the gonads. Administration of an effective amount of such GnRH antagonists prevents ovulation of female mammalian eggs and/or the release of steroids by the gonads. These peptides may be used to treat steroid-dependent tumors, such as prostatic and mammary tumors. The peptides are cyclic analogs of the decapeptide GnRH wherein there is a covalent bond between the residue in the 4-position and the residue in the 10-position. Examples of such bonds include the disulfide linkage between Cys residues, an amide linkage between a side chain amino group and a side chain carboxyl group, a dicarba linkage between side-chain alkyl groups, and a carba linkage between a side-chain alkyl group and a side-chain sulfhydryl group.
