Abstract
Eleven analogues of porcine gut secretin, in which the Nβterminal histidine has been modified or deleted, were prepared and assayed for their potency in stimulating the exocrine pancreatic flow in various animal species. Deletion of the Ξ±βamino group, or replacement of the imidazole by the pyrazole ring, resulted in highly potent analogues. Other alterations destroyed most of the potency. All analogues had immunochemical properties similar to those of porcine gut secretin.

## Abstract The REMA method was found to be very suitable for the synthesis of secretin. The procedure was rapid, since on a 0.2 mmolβscale the rate of one amino acid per day could be attained, and yielded an unambiguous product after simple ionβexchange chromatography. REMAβsecretin was found to b
