Abstract
The biological potency and the duration of the effect of two analogues of deamino-oxytocin, having the disulfide bond substituted by a thioether group and the tyrosine residue replaced by O-methyltyrosine, were compared in the uterotonic and galactogogic assay in vivo. [2-O-Methyltyrosine]deamino-6-carba-oxytocin had a very low formal elimination constant (i.e. strongly protracted action) in the uterotonic assay.
