## Abstract A tritium labeled rat Enterostatin, Val‐[3,4‐^3^H‐Pro]‐Gly‐[3,4‐^3^H‐Pro]‐Arg‐OH, was prepared by the catalytic tritiation of the didehydroproline analog of rat Enterostatin, Val‐[3,4‐dehydroPro]‐Gly‐[3,4‐dehydroPro]‐Arg‐OH, over Pd/C in methanol. The product had a specific activity of

Abstract
The precursor peptides H‐Phe(I)‐Pro‐Gly‐OH (III) and H‐Tyr(I~2~)‐Pro‐Phe(I)‐pyrrolidide (VIII) were synthesized by stepwise elongation from the C‐terminal end and by coupling of Boc‐Tyr(I~2~)‐Pro‐OH with H‐Phe(I)‐pyrrolidide and following deprotection of the Boc‐residue respectively. Catalytic dehalotritiation yielded tritated peptides with specific radioactivities of 450 and 1500 GBq/mmol respectively. Cleavage of ^3^H~2~‐Tyr‐Pro‐^3^H‐Phe‐pyrrolidide by dipeptidylpeptidase IV resulted in fragments with specific radioactivities of 950 (^3^H~2~‐Tyr‐Pro) and 590 GBq/mmol (^3^H‐Phe‐pyrrolidide).
