The present invention deals with LHRH analogues which contain cytotoxic moieties and have influence on the release of gonadotropins from the pituitary gland of mammals, including humans. The compounds of this invention are represented by the formula: X-R1-R2-R3-Ser-R5-R6(Q)-Leu-Arg-Pro-R10-NH2 wherein R1 is pGlu, Pro, D-Nal(2), or D-Phe(4Cl), R2 is His or D-Phe(4Cl), R3 is Trp, D-Trp or D-Pal(3), R5 is Tyr or Arg, R6 is D-Phe or R*6, where R*6 is D-Orn, D-Lys or D-Phe(NH2), R10 is Gly or D-Ala, X is hydrogen, a lower alkanoyl group of 2-5 carbon atoms or carbamyl, Q is bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino group provided that R6 is D-Phe, where R6 is R*6, Q is a complexed metal-containing acyl group having the formula: <IMAGE> wherein Q' is Pt(Y)2, where Y is an anion derived from a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, A is a diaminoacyl group having the formula <IMAGE> IV where m is 0 or 1, n and p are 0-10, o is 1-10, Q'' is a non-platinum-group metal, either a main-group metal such as gallium, germanium, and tin, or a transition metal such as titanium, vanadium, iron, copper, cobalt, gold, nickel, cadmium and zinc, B is a aralkylidene, heteroaralkylidene, cycloalkylidene or heterocycloalkylidene group containing oxygen anion or carboxylate anion at position 2 or 3, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and methods of use pertaining these compounds.
