Structurally unique, potent, and selective oxytocin antagonistic agents characterized by a cyclic hexapeptide structure have recently been isolated from the broth filtrate of a novel Streptomyces silvensis strain [434,435]. As shown in formula (106), these compounds contain two hexahydro-3-pyrid-azinecarboxylic acid moieties. A study has been made of their structural modifications (including oxidation of the reduced pyridazine nuclei) [436]. 

All the pieces of the formulas of both oxytocin and vasopressin fell into place when, in 1953, several laboratories independently published the complete amino acid sequence of both these hormones. It thus became obvious that each of them contained a 20-member disulfide ring and tripeptide side chain. Oxytocins obtained from man, beef, hog, horse, sheep, and...
