Abstract
The subject “Oxytocin — molecular aspects” can be treated from various points of view. One of the possible approaches is the following: To-day we have quantitative data on a number of well-defined pharmacological properties for more than 200 synthetic peptides of the neurohypophysial type, which can all be considered to be derivatives of oxytocin. Therefore, it is tempting to try to discover, on the basis of the pharmacological properties of these derivatives, which parts of the oxytocin molecule are essential for the characteristic biological effects of this hormone.
