1. A method of selectively inhibiting inositol phosphate production in cells induced by neuromedin B, said method comprising the step of contacting said cells with an octapeptide of the formula:

  • ##STR8## wherein AA1 is the D- or L-isomer of an aromatic α

    -amino acid;

    AA2 is the D- or L-isomer of Cys;

    AA3 is F5 Phe, Phe, or X-Phe in which X is OH;

    AA4 is Trp or an aromatic α

    -amino acid;

    AA5 is Lys or Orn;

    AA6 is Leu, Ile, Nle, Val, Nal, or Phe;

    AA7 is the D- or L-isomer of Cys;

    AA8 is the D- or L-isomer selected from the group consisting of an aromatic α

    -amino acid, Thr and Ser;

    each R1 and R2, independently, is H, C1-12 alkyl, C2-12 alkenyl, C2-12 alkynyl, phenyl, naphthyl, C7-12 phenylalkyl, C8-12 phenylalkenyl, C8-12 phenylalkynyl, C11-20 naphthylalkyl, C12-20 naphthylalkenyl, C12-20 naphthylalkynyl, COE, or COOE in which E is C1-12 alkyl, C2-12 alkenyl, C2-12 alkynyl, phenyl, naphthyl, C7-12 phenylalkyl, C8-12 phenylalkenyl, C8-12 phenylalkynyl, C11-20 naphthylalkyl, C12-20 naphthylalkenyl, or C12-20 naphthylalkynyl, provided that when one of R1 or R2 is COE or COOE, the other must be H;

    each R3 and R4 , independently, is H, C1-12 alkyl, C2-12 alkenyl, C2-12 alkynyl, phenyl, naphthyl, C7-12 phenylalkyl, C8-12 phenylalkenyl, C8-12 phenylalkynyl, C11-20 naphthylalkyl, C12-20 naphthylalkenyl, or C12-20 naphthylalkynyl; and

    Y is OR5 or NR6 R7 in which each R5, R6 and R7, independently, is H, C1-12 alkyl, C2-12 alkenyl, C2-12 alkynyl, phenyl, naphthyl, C7-12 phenylalkyl, C8-12 phenylalkenyl, C8-12 phenylalkynyl, C11-20 naphthylalkyl, C12-20 naphthylalkenyl, or C12-20 naphthylalkynyl;

    provided that AA1 and AA2 cannot both be D-isomers; and

    further provided that if AA8 is Thr or Ser, AA6 cannot be Val.
