The present invention provides stable metastin derivatives having
excellent biological activities (a cancer metastasis suppressing
activity, a cancer growth suppressing activity, a gonadotrophic hormone
secretion stimulating activity, sex hormone secretion stimulating
activity, etc.). By substituting the constituent amino acids of metastin
with specific amino acids in the metastin derivative of the present
invention, blood stability, solubility, etc. are more improved, gelation
tendency is reduced, pharmacokinetics are also improved, and an excellent
cancer metastasis suppressing activity or a cancer growth suppressing
activity is exhibited. Furthermore, the metastin derivative of the
present invention has the effects of suppressing gonadotropic hormone
secretion, suppressing sex hormone secretion, etc.
