We describe the synthesis and preliminary in vitro pharmacological testing of two new tetrapeptide analogues of the opioid heptapeptide dermorphin H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2. The replacement of Phe3 by its D-enantiomer was hardly if at all tolerated. The unsaturated analogue carrying the phenyl ring of the delta Phe3 residue in the Z-configuration, was almost inactive.

Abstract
We describe the synthesis and preliminary in vitro pharmacological testing of two new tetrapeptide analogues of the opioid heptapeptide dermorphin H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2. The replacement of Phe3 by its D-enantiomer was hardly if at all tolerated. The unsaturated analogue carrying the phenyl ring of the delta Phe3 residue in the Z-configuration, was almost inactive.File in questo prodotto:
