Popis: A means of producing a peptide analogue that is permanently fixed in a β-bend conformation has been devised. These analogues are based on appropriately substituted derivatives of the ring system, 5H-6-oxo-2,3,4,4a,7,7a-hexahydropyrano [2,3,-b]pyrrole. The substituents are chosen to represent the relevant side chains of amino acids. The first analogue of this type of enkephalin has been synthesized and was found to have the same order of magnitude of activity in the guinea pig ileum assay as morphine.
