Substituting sarcosine or N-methylalanine for proline in the inhibitory vasopressin analogs dPAVP and d(CH2)5AVP had the following effects: 1) milk ejection and antidiuretic activities were severely depressed, 2) pressor antagonism was maintained but weakened somewhat, and 3) antagonism in the

The 600 MHz proton n.m.r. spectra of (sarcosyl7)-oxytocin and (N-methylalanyl7) oxytocin in 2H2O solution have been recorded and completely assigned. In each case the spectrum indicates the presence of two slowly interconverting conformers, which are the cis-trans isomers about the
