, (2008/06/13)
N-Adamantane-substituted tetrapeptide amides and the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are disclosed herein. These compounds are analogs of enkephalin wherein the methionine or leucine of position 5 has been substituted by an adamantyl amide and the glycine of position 2 has been substituted by various amino acid residues. Optionally the tyrosine of position 1 and the phenylalanine of position 4 may be substituted by various amino acid residues. These compounds exhibit agonist activity at opiate receptor sites and are useful as analgesics.
