Abstract

The IC50 values of the new selective VIP1 receptor antagonist PG 97-269 were 10 nM for rat VIP1 receptors and 3000 nM for human VIP2 receptors.

  • PG 97-269 shows high selectivity for the VIP1 receptor subclass compared to other receptors.
  • It inhibits the binding of a labeled VIP peptide, indicating its potential as an effective antagonist.
  • The compound does not stimulate adenylate cyclase activity but inhibits VIP-mediated stimulation of this enzyme.
  • Ki values were determined to be 15 +/- 5 nM for rat VIP1 receptors and 2 +/- 1 nM for human VIP1 receptors.
  • PG 97-269 has negligible affinity for the PACAP I receptor type.
