Abstract

Peptide derivatives containing one or more substituents separately linked by an amide, amino or sulfonamide bond to an amino group on either the N-terminal end or side chain of a biologically active peptide moiety. The peptide derivatives have relatively enhanced biological activity when compared to the corresponding peptide alone.
