Abstract Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) analogues and use thereof are disclosed. The VIP analogues are shown by the formula of His-Ser-Asp-Ala-Val-Phe-Thr-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Thr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Lys-Gln-X-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ile-Leu-Asn-Y wherein X is a residue of amino acid other than methionine (Met); and Y is homoserine, homoserine-lactone, amidized homoserine, a residue reacted homoserine-lactone with a primary alkyl amine having carbon atoms not exceeding 20, or an optional polypeptide chain and containing an amidized homoserine at C-terminal. Each of the VIP analogues is employed as an effective ingredient for various medicines and a hair tonic, and more particularly curing an asthma and impotence.
A vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) analogue selected from the group consisting of [L-Leu 17 ]-VIP-Hse, [L-Leu 17 ]-VIP-Hse-lactone, [L-Leu 17 ]-VIP-Hse-NH 2 , [L-Leu 17 ]-VIP-Hse-NH(CH 2 ) 9 CH 3 and [L-Leu 17 ]-VIP-Hse-NH(CH 2 ) 19 CH 3 .
