Abstract
Linear octapeptides were prepared by stepwise synthesis in solution. Cyclization by the method of active esters yielded analogues of deamino-1-carba-oxytocin with valine, leucine or isoleucine in position 4 instead of the glutamine residue. The basic pharmacological activities of the analogues were determined; their natriuretic action was lower than that of oxytocin.
