(2 S ,3 R )‐3,7‐Diamino‐2‐hydroxy‐heptanoyl‐Leu‐Pro‐OH [(2 S ,3 R )‐DAHHA‐Leu‐Pro‐OH, 4], analogue of the N ‐terminal tripeptide of probestin, has been synthesized, and tested as inhibitor of AP‐B, Leu‐AP, AP‐M, and enkephalin‐degrading APs, and as analgesic. In order to establish structure‐activity relationships the dipeptide (2 S ,3 R )‐DAHHA‐Pro‐OH ( 5 ) and the tripeptide (2 S , 3 R )‐DAHHA‐Ala‐Pro‐OH ( 6 ) were also prepared. Compounds 4 and 6 were potent and selective inhibitors of enkephalin‐degrading APs and showed a prolonged antinociceptive effect.
