Nine Met-enkephalin analogues containing D-alanyl residue in position 2 and/or 3-(2-naphthyl)-D-alanyl residue in positions 2 and 4 have been obtained. Their biological activity has been determined after intracerebroventricular administration to rats. Almost all compounds appeared strongly toxic causing the death of the animals. Only [D-2-Nal2,4, Met5-OMe]--enkephalin exerted an analgesic effect after the administration in the form of fine suspension.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
