Abstract
The compounds of the invention are symmetrical dimers of enkephalin polypeptides comprising enkephalin polypeptide monomers linked at the C-termini thereof with a difunctional amino bridging group. The compounds are useful as investigative tools for probing the opiate receptor membranes, particularly as radiolabelled ligands for exploring the delta opiate receptor, and also have particular use as narcotic and/or analgesic agents.
