Direct antitumor activity of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) gonadotropin-releasing hormone III (Glp-His-Trp-Ser-His-Asp-Trp-Lys-Pro-Gly-NH2; lGnRH-III) was described on several tumor cells. To improve the selectivity of antitumor effects without increasing the hormone releasing activity and to enhance the enzymatic stability, lGnRH-III dimers were prepared via disulfide bond formation. Our results demonstrate that the lGnRH-III dimer derivatives exhibited higher antiproliferative effect and enzymatic stability in comparison with the native lGnRH-III, while lower LH-releasing potency was determined. In order to find a correlation between the biological and structural features of these compounds, the conformation of lGnRH-III and its dimer derivatives was determined by ECD, VCD, FT-IR and 1H NMR.
