Abstract
The present invention provides a novel radioactive neuropeptide represented by the formula Lys-His-Glu-Tyr.sup.--I -Leu-Arg-Phe-amide. The invention also provides a method for detecting anthelmintic activity of a compound using the novel neuropeptide of the present invention in a receptor binding assay. The novel radioactive neuropeptide has potent bioactivity in Ascaris suum neuromuscular strips, and therefore is particularly useful for high volume screening for potential anthelmintic compounds.
