Abstract
Analogs of porcine Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide are disclosed. The analogs have been cyclized by the covalent attachment, via an amide bond, of the side-chain carboxy terminus of one amino acid in the peptide chain to the side-chain amino terminus of another amino acid in the peptide chain. The claimed compounds are useful for the treatment of asthma.
