Straight-chain or mono-cyclicpolypeptides comprising a heptapeptide moiety, said moiety having in the 1-position (N-terminal) an alpha -N-phenylalkylated, optionally ring-substituted phenylalanine residue, in the 2-position a cysteine residue, in the 3-position an optionally ring-substituted phenylalanine residue, in the 4-position an optionally benzene-ring-substituted tryptophan residue, in the 5-position an optionally epsilon -N-alkylated lysine residue and in the 7-position (C-terminal) a cysteine or cysteinol residue the S-atoms of the cysteine residue at the 2-position and the cysteine or cysteinol residue at the 7-position being linked together in the case of the mono-cyclic polypeptides to form an -S-S-bridge, whereby the residues at the 1-, 2-, 4-, 6-, and 7-positions of said heptapeptide moiety may each be in the (L)- or (D)-configuration and the residues at the 4-, 5- and 6-positions of said heptapeptide moiety may each be optionally alpha -N-alkylated, said polypeptides being in free or protected form, as well as salt forms and complexes thereof. Subject compounds are useful as pharmaceuticals, e.g. as GH-secretion inhibitors. |
