Results from this study4

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone4

In this study, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).

  1. 01LabNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In rat pituitary and pineal cells, the GHRH antagonists JV-1-36, JV-1-38 and JV-1-42 did not change VIP-stimulated prolactin release or cAMP efflux but inhibited GHRH-stimulated GH release.

    In plain wordsIn rat cells in the lab, three GHRH-blocking analogs did not change the effect of VIP but blocked GHRH.

    Summary
    Previously reported GHRH antagonists JV-1-36, JV-1-38, and JV-1-42 proved to be selective for GHRH receptors, because they did not influence VIP-stimulated VPAC(2) receptor-dependent prolactin release from pituitary cells or VPAC(1) receptor-dependent cAMP efflux from pinealocytes but strongly inhib…

    To characterize various peptide analogs for their antagonistic activity on receptors for GHRH and VIP, we developed assay systems based on superfusion of rat pituitary and pineal cells.

    In this study, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil).

  2. 02LabNot a test of Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP, aviptadil) aloneIn vitro (cells)Activity measurement

    In rat pituitary and pineal cells, the GHRH-related analogs JV-1-50, JV-1-51 and JV-1-52 antagonized VIP receptors VPAC1 and VPAC2 to various degrees and kept GHRH antagonism.

    In plain wordsIn rat cells in the lab, three new analogs blocked VIP receptors to various degrees and still blocked GHRH.

    Summary
    Analogs JV-1-50, JV-1-51, and JV-1-52 showed various degrees of VPAC(1)-R and VPAC(2)-R antagonistic potency, although also preserving a substantial GHRH antagonistic effect.

    In rat pituitary and pineal cells, the analog JV-1-53 was a highly potent VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptor antagonist with no inhibition of GHRH-evoked GH release.

    In plain wordsIn rat cells in the lab, the analog JV-1-53 strongly blocked VIP receptors and did not block GHRH.

    In rat pituitary and pineal cells, the antagonistic activity of the analogs on GHRH and VIP receptors agreed with their binding affinity.

    In plain wordsIn rat cells in the lab, how strongly each analog blocked the receptors matched how tightly it bound them.

    Outcome
    Not applicableAgreement of antagonism with receptor binding
