[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P TFA is a selective tachykinin NK1 receptor agonist.[Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P and septide (10-100 pmol per rat, i.c.v.) are equipotent in increasing mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR), yet they have dissimilar time-course. Both agonists increase dose-dependently face washing and sniffing while [Sar9,Met(O2)11]-Substance P is the sole to produce grooming.

Galantide 是一种特殊的甘丙肽受体 (galanin receptor) 拮抗剂，是一种由甘丙肽和 P 物质片段组成的肽段，在大鼠下丘脑可识别两类甘丙肽结合位点 (KD 分别小于 0.1 nM 和 ~6 nM)。Galantide 剂量依赖性 (IC50=1.0 nM) 拮抗甘丙肽介导的葡萄糖诱导的小鼠胰岛胰岛素分泌抑制。Galantide 似乎与单一的 SP 受体群结合 (KD~40 nM)。
