Somatostatin analogs are prepared wherein a cyclic hexapeptide contains a bridged grouping which replaces eight of the ring amino acids of somatostatin. The bridged cyclic hexapeptides are easier to synthesize, have a longer duration of activity, and many have a greater level of activity than somatostatin. The compounds have the properties of selectively inhibiting the release of glucagon, growth hormone and insulin. Certain of the compounds also are capable of inhibiting the release of gastric acid secretions. The compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of acromegaly, diabetes, diabetic retinopathy and peptic ulcers. These bridged cyclic hexapeptides are prepared by the solid phase method.
