BACKGROUND The peptoid CI-988 has previously been shown to have high affinity for the cholecystokinin (CCK)-B/gastrin receptor and has been reported to be a powerful CCK antagonist in many systems, although it has agonist activity on histidine decarboxylase in the rat. METHODS In the present study the effect of CI-988 on acid secretion and histamine release in the totally isolated, vascularly perfused rat stomach was assessed. RESULTS CI-988 was found to be a gastrin agonist with regard to the stimulation of both histamine release and acid secretion. CONCLUSIONS Thus, in this stomach model CI-988 behaved as a CCKB/gastrin agonist. The present study underlines the importance of testing the biologic activity of ligands in models with sufficient sensitivity.

D011949 Receptors, Cholecystokinin Cell surface proteins that bind cholecystokinin (CCK) with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Cholecystokinin receptors are activated by GASTRIN as well as by CCK-4; CCK-8; and CCK-33. Activation of these receptors evokes secretion of AMYLASE by pancreatic acinar cells, acid and PEPSIN by stomach mucosal cells, and contraction of the PYLORUS and GALLBLADDER. The role of the widespread CCK receptors in the central nervous system is not well understood.

D005755 Gastrins A family of gastrointestinal peptide hormones that excite the secretion of GASTRIC JUICE. They may also occur in the central nervous system where they are presumed to be neurotransmitters. Gastrin
D006636 Histamine Release The secretion of histamine from mast cell and basophil granules by exocytosis. This can be initiated by a number of factors, all of which involve binding of IgE, cross-linked by antigen, to the mast cell or basophil's Fc receptors. Once released, histamine binds to a number of different target cell receptors and exerts a wide variety of effects. Histamine Liberation,Histamine Liberations,Histamine Releases
