The synthesis and opiate activity of human beta-endorphin analogs. Substituted at residue positions 27 and 31.
Four analogs of human beta-endorphin have been synthesized and their opiate activities have been determined. One of the analogs, [27-phenylalanine, 31-glycine]-betah-endorphin, was shown to possess an analgesic potency greater than that of the natural peptide.
