Octadecapeptide β-Ala<SUP>1</SUP>, Orn<SUP>15</SUP>-(1-18) ACTH-NH<SUB>2</SUB> (I) or β-Ala<SUP>1</SUP>, D-Phe<SUB>7</SUB>, Orn<SUP>15</SUP>-(1-18) ACTH-NH<SUB>2</SUB> (II) was incubated with isolated rat adrenal cells at 38°C for 1 hr. The quantities of corticosterone and 3, 5-cyclic AMP produced were determined simultaneously. In the isolated adrenal cell system, the maximal steroidogenic responses induced by these two peptides were elicited with only a slight increase of 3, 5-cyclic AMP level and higher concentrations of ACTHs were needed to evoke the maximal 3, 5-cyclic AMP levels.<BR>I-induced increases in corticosterone production and in 3, 5-cyclic AMP levels were not altered by the presence of an equimolar amount of II. This ffnding is contrary to that obtained with a cell-free system of rat adrenals, in which the activation of adenylate cyclase induced by I or natural ACTH was inhibited by the simultaneous addition of II. The concentration-response curves for I with respect to steroidogenesis and increase in 3, 5-cyclic AMP level were compared with those for II. The curves for II were respectively parallel to those for I but were shifted to higher concentration along the logconcentration axis. A theoretical consideration on the kinetics suggests that the isolated adrenal cells may have spare receptors for ACTH, and that the slight difference in affinity between I and II would be emphasized and the inhibitory effect of II reduced.
