Abstract

Cyclic‐disulfide‐containing analogues of somatostatin, [Xaa1= H or DPhe; Xaa3= Phe or Tyr; Xaa7= Cys, Me2Cys or Me2DCys; Xaa8= OH, Thr8 (OH) or Thr8NH2], were examined in aqueous solution by 1H‐NMR spectroscopy and circular dichroism. The influence of the helical nature of the disulfide bridge and the presence of exocyclic residues on biological activity were investigated with particular care.
