Abstract
This invention relates to novel substituted tyrosyl alanine dipeptide amides of the formula: ##STR1## and the pharmaceutically acceptable addition salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1 is --OH, --OCH.sub.3 or lower alkoxy of 1-6 carbon atoms; wherein R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may be the same or different and represent straight or branched chain lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms; wherein R.sup.4, R.sup.5 R.sup.9 may be the same or different and represent hydrogen or straight or branched chain lower alkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms; wherein R.sup.6 represents hydrogen, or straight or branched chain lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms, or R.sup.6 may act together with N.sup.6, C.sup.w and either R.sup.7 R.sup.8 to form a cycloamine of the formula: ##STR2## such that between R.sup.7 and R.sup.8, when one acts to form said cycloamine, the other is hydrogen, or straight or branched chain lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms; wherein when neither R.sup.7 nor R.sup.8 is acting to form said cycloamine, R.sup.7 R.sup.8 act together with C.sup.w to form a cycloalkyl of the formula: ##STR3## where n=3, 4, 5; wherein C.sup.w represents an asymmetric carbon atom when R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are not the same and may be racemic or have the D or L configuration; and wherein C.sup.v represents an asymmetric carbon atom that may be racemic or that may hve the D or L configuration. These compounds are useful because they possess analgesic activity in mammals.
