title: A conformationally constrained vasopressin analog with antidiuretic antagonistic activity.
abstract: Application of information derived from a three-dimensional model of vasopressin bound to its antidiuretic receptor resulted in the design and synthesis of a bicyclic vasopressin analog, [5,8-cyclo(1-beta-mercaptopropionic acid,2-phenylalanine,5-aspartic acid,8-lysine)]vasopressin. The analog acts as an antagonist of the antidiuretic activity of vasopressin.
