Abstract
Analogs of SRIF which are selective for SSTR1 in contrast to the other cloned SRIF receptors. These analogs are useful in determining the tissue and cellular expression of the receptor SSTR1 and its biological role in the endocrine, exocrine and nervous system, as well as in regulating tumor growth. SRIF analog peptides, such as des-AA.sup.1,2,5 �D-Trp.sup.8, IAmp.sup.9 !-SRIF inhibit the binding of �.sup.125 I-Tyr.sup.11 !SRIF to the cloned human receptor SSTR1 but do not bind to mouse SSTR2 and SSTR3, human SSTR4 or rat SSTR5. By incorporating an iodinated tyrosine in position-2 in these selective SRIF analogs, a labelled compound useful in drug-screening methods is provided.
