Abstract

Analogues of [5-Leu]enkephalin, prolonged by methionine on the N-terminus or, by lysine or methionine on the C-terminus were prepared by fragment condensation, purified by ion exchange chromatography or high-pressure liquid chromatography. The substances were characterised by their opioid activity in a test on guinea-pig ileum in comparison with the activity of [5-Leu]enkephalin.
