[Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]-Neurokinin A (4-10) is a neurokinin-2 (NK2) receptor agonist and derivative of neurokinin A (Item No. 24221).1 It binds to NK2 receptors in isolated human colon circular muscle membranes in a radioligand binding assay (IC50 = 0.87 nM). [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]-Neurokinin A (4-10) induces contraction of isolated rat bladder and fundus strips (EC50s = 10 and 117 nM, respectively), effects that can be inhibited by the NK2 receptor antagonists SR48968 and MEN10627.2 It also induces contraction of uterine horns isolated from rats in proestrus/estrus and diestrus/metestrus (EC50s = 25.12 and 51.29 nM, respectively).3 [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]-Neurokinin A (4-10) induces urination and defecation in conscious dogs but also induces emesis and hypotension at similar doses.4
