Synthesis and properties of equine β‐melanotropin and its naturally occurring des‐Asp analog

Abstract
The syntheses of equine β‐melanotropin and newly isolated des‐Asp1‐β‐melanotropin are described. The syntheses have been accomplished by the solid‐phase method. The lipolytic potency of des‐Asp1‐βe‐MSH is about 5 times higher than that of βe‐MSH.
