## Abstract In a continuation of our program to study the structureβactivity relationship of peptide opiates, we report the conformational analysis of two cyclic tetrapeptides related to dermorphinβTyrβc[DβOrnβPheβAsp]βNH~2~ and Tyrβc[DβAspβPheβOrn]βNH~2~. These analogues have similar binding prope

Synopsis
We report the solid-phase synthesis and conformational analysis of a 14-membered, cyclic enkephalin analog, H-Tyr-~$-~-A,bu-Gly-Phe-~-Leu-] (where A,bu represents a,ydiaminobutyric acid). The results from the guinea pig ileum (GPI) and mouse vas deferens (MVD) assays show that the analog, though active, has little seledivity for the p or 8 opioid receptors. Conformational analysis is carried out using 'H-nmr and computer simulations, including molecular dynamics and energy minimizations. The results obtained here are compared with the findings of our studies carried out on the p-receptor-selective diastereomer, Chem. SOC. 101,400&4013]. This comparison allows for insight into the regiospecificity of these cyclic enkephalin analogs.
