Spantide II is an undecapeptide substance P (SP) analog that is more potent as a substance P antagonist than spantide I and less effective in releasing histamine from mast cells. It is a neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist that is used to control inflammation, particularly in skin conditions, and has negligible neurotoxicity.
