Betides having at least one betidamino acid are provided which have GnRH antagonistic properties. These antagonists may be used to regulate fertility and to treat steroid-dependent tumors, such as prostatic and mammary tumors. One particularly effective betide, which is an analog of the decapeptide GnRH that is highly soluble in water at physiologic pH, has the formula: Ac-D-2Nal-D-4Cpa-D-3Pal-Ser-Aph(acetyl)-D-Aph(acetyl)-Leu-D/L-Agl(methyl,i sopropyl .beta.-alanyl)-Pro-D-Ala-NH.sub.2, and another has the formula Ac-D-2Nal-D-Cpa-D-3Pal-D/L-Agl(For)-Aph(Ac)-D-Aph(Ac)-Leu-ILys-Pro-D-Ala-N H.sub.2.
