Abstract
Four analogs of vasopressin with non-coded amino acids D-homoarginine (in position 8) and 2,6-di- or 2,4,6-trisubstituted L- or D-phenylalanine (in position 2) were synthesized using the solid phase method on p-methylbenzhydrylamine resin. All the analogs were found to be uterotonic inhibitors, the most potent one in vitro and in vivo being [D-Phe(2,4,6-triMe)2,D-Har8]vasopressin with pA2 values equal to 8.1 and 7.5, respectively. All of them had negligible antidiuretic activity and were weak pressor inhibitors.
