Certain vasopressin-like compounds whose structures have a β,β-diethyl-β-mercaptopropionic acid at position 1 have unexpectedly potent V 2 -antagonist activity. A species of the group is [1-β,β-diethyl-β-mercaptopropionic acid)-2-(O-ethyl-D-tyrosine)-4-valine-8-arginine-9-desglycine] vasopressin. |
