SynopsisN, N-bis-2-~-Ala,5-des-Met-enkephalin hydrazide of azo-isobutyric acid was synthesized. This was used to obtain polyvinylimidazole derivatives of an enkephalin analog, modified at the carboxylic end by poly-N-vinylimidazole. The effect of modification of tetrapeptide hydrazide on its conformational properties and biological activity in viw and in vitro was studied.
