title: Synthesis and hypotensive activity of some analogs of the C-terminal hexapeptideamide of eledoisin.
abstract: The C-terminal (6-11)-hexapeptideamide Ala-Phe-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 of eledoisin was synthesized by the solid phase method according to Merrifield. The alpha-amino group of alanine was acylated with heterocyclic or aromatic residues. These new compounds showed dose dependent hypotensive activities in the rabbit.
