Abstract
Small enkephalin-related peptides containing a 1-adamantanamine moiety coupled through an amide linkage at the C-terminus were synthesized. Several of the compounds showed high mu opioid activity and mu receptor selectivity. The new adamantanamine derivatives were also examined for antiviral activity against HIV-1 in a cell culture system. Some of them inhibited syncytia formation even when the antigen assay gave evidence for viral replication.
