Delta sleep inducing peptide (DSIP) is well known natural somnogenic peptide that has many other physiological functions. DSIP analogues representing hepta- and octapeptides (also known as long) as well as tetrapeptide (termed short, used in our experiments) were synthesized with a view to evaluate the peptide specificity in sleep. The effects of DSIP and its analogue DSIP1-4 on metaphit 1-[1(3-isothiocyanatophenylciclohexyl)-piperidine] induced audiogenic seizures were evaluated in rats.
