[sar9,met(o2)11] substance p acetate

[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P acetate is a tachykinin NK1 receptor selective agonist. [Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P acetate is a selective tachykinin NK1 receptor agonist.[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P acetate and septide (10-100 pmol per rat, i.c.v.) are equipotent in increasing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), yet they have dissimilar time-course. Both agonists increase dose-dependently face washing and sniffing while [Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P acetate is the sole to produce grooming.

[Sar9]-Substance P acetate is one of NK-1 receptor agonist. The action of SP on progesterone metabolism was mimicked by the rNK1-specific agonist [Sar-9,Met(O2)11]-SP.
