Abstract

Abstract Peptides which inhibit the secretion of gonadotropins by the pituitary gland and inhibit the release of steroids by the gonads. Administration of an effective amount prevents ovulation of female mammalian eggs and/or the release of steroids by the gonads. The peptides have the structure: X-R.sub.1 -(W)D-Phe-R.sub.3 -R.sub.4 -R.sub.5 -R.sub.6 -R.sub.7 -Arg-Pro-R 10 wherein X is hydrogen or an acyl group having 7 or less carbon atoms; R 1 is dehydro-Pro, D-pGlu, D-Phe, D-Trp of β-D-NAL; W is F, Cl, Cl 2 Br, NO 2 or C.sup.α Me-Cl; R 3 is (N in For)D-Trp or D-Trp which is substituted in the 5- or 6-position with NO 2 , NH 2 , OCH 3 , F, Cl, Br or CH 3 ; R 4 is Ser, Orn, AAL or aBu; R 5 is Tyr, Arg, (3F)Phe, (2F)Phe, (3I)Tyr, (3CH 3 )Phe, (2CH 3 )Phe, (3Cl)Phe or (2Cl)Phe; R 6 is (4NH 2 )D-Phe, D-Lys, D-Orn, D-Har, D-His, (4gua)D-Phe, D-Tyr, a D-isomer of a lipophilic amino or D-Arg; R 7 is Leu, NML, Nle or Nva; and R 10 is Gly-NH 2 , D-Ala-NH 2 or NH-Y, with Y being lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, fluoro lower alkyl or ##STR1## where Q is H or lower alkyl, provided however that when R 5 is Arg, R 6 is D-Tyr.
