The syntheses and biological activities of 4 analogues of the thyrotropin‐releasing hormone (TRH) are described. In these analogues the histidine residue has been replaced by L ‐lysine, L ‐α,γ‐diaminobutyric acid, β‐(3‐pyrazolyl)‐ L ‐alanine, and L‐arginine. All analogues exhibited the characteristic biological responses of TRH. For the β‐(3‐pyrazolyl)‐ L ‐alanine analogue as well as for TRH the bioassays suggest an induction of a strong and rapid resynthesis of thyrotropin (TSH) in higher (μg) concentrations.
