title: Synthesis of dermorphins, a new class of opiate-like peptides.
abstract: H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser-NH2 (dermorphin) and H-Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Hyp-Ser-NH2 (Hyp6-dermorphin) are two members of a new class of opiate-like peptides present in the amphibian skin. Their syntheses and that of the L-Ala2-analogue of dermorphin have been accomplished by conventional segment condensation in solution.
