A number of studies have suggested that somatostatin-14 (SS-14) and somatostatin-28 (SS-28) exhibit a similar spectrum of biological activities but have different potencies. In the present study the effects of SS-14, SS-28, and somatostatin-25 on electrically induced contractions of the guinea pig ileum have been compared. All three peptides exhibited equipotent inhibitory effects. Inhibition was obtained at a threshold concentration less than 10−10 M, with maximal inhibition at 10−7 M and IC50 values of 6.0–6.5 × 10−10 M. The N-terminal 14 amino acid fragment of SS-28 had no effect either on motility, when added alone, or on the actions of SS-28, suggesting that this region of the molecule is not critical for biological activity.
