Abstract
There are provided novel compounds for the treatment of male impotence. The compounds are derived from vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in which the natural amino acid sequence is modified by replacement of any of the 5, 17 and 19 amino acid residues by other natural or non-natural amino acids, and they bear at least one terminal lipophilic group. The modified VIP sequences are prepared by conventional peptide chain assembling methods. The novel compounds and compositions containing them are suitable for transdermal application for treating male impotence.
