Neuromedin C is a bombesin-like neuropeptide that stimulates uterine smooth muscle contraction and the release of gastrin , somatostatin, and amylase in rats. Neuromedin C is a truncated form of gastrin-releasing peptide corresponding to the GRP amino acids 18-27. It inhibits GRP and bombesin binding to rat pancreatic membranes (IC50s = 0.4 and 2.2 nM, respectively), which can be reduced by sodium chloride and guanylyl imidodiphosphate . Neuromedin C induces scratching and mast cell degranulation in mice when administered intradermally at doses ranging from 1 to 300 nmol/site, which is inhibited by the BB2 bombesin receptor agonist RC-3095 and reduced in mast cell-deficient mice. Neuromedin C (3.2 nmol/kg, i.p.) reduces rat glucose consumption by approximately 50% for up to one hour.

Urocortin III is a neuropeptide hormone and member of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) family which includes mammalian CRF , urocortin , urocortin II , frog sauvagine, and piscine urotensin I.1 Human urocortin III shares 90, 40, 37, and 21% identity to mouse urocortin III , mouse urocortin II , human urocortin , and mouse urocortin, respectively. Urocortin III selectively binds to type 2 CRF receptors (Kis = 21.7, 13.5, and >100 nM for rat CRF2α, rat CRF2β, and human CRF1, respectively). It stimulates cAMP production in CHO cells expressing rat CRF2α and mouse CRF2β (EC50s = 0.16 and 0.12 nM, respectively) as well as cultured anterior pituitary cells expressing endogenous CRF2β. Urocortin III is co-released with insulin to potentiate glucose-stimulated somatostatin release in vitro in human pancreatic β-cells.2 In vivo, urocortin III reduces food intake in a dose- and time-dependent manner in mice with a minimum effective dose (MED) of 0.3 nmol/animal.3 It increases swimming time in a forced swim test in mice, indicating antidepressant-like activity.4References1.

Angiopeptin TFA, a cyclic octapeptide analogue of somatostatin, acts as a partial agonist at sst 2 sst 5 receptors, with IC50 values of 0.26 nM and 6.92 nM, respectively. It effectively inhibits the release of growth hormone and the production of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and either inhibits adenylate cyclase activity or promotes extracellular acidification. Angiopeptin TFA shows promise for use in coronary atherosclerosis research [1] [2].
