Abstract: | A series of hepta-, hexa-, penta- and tetrapeptide analogues of dermorphin have been evaluated in the rat for antinociceptive activity after subcutaneous (SC) administration at the screening dose of 4 mg/kg. Effective doses (ED50) were calculated for the most active compounds. Presence of spontaneous movements, defecation, micturition and corneal reflex were also recorded. Syntheses and analytical data of new derivatives are briefly reported. |
