Abstract
Two new peptides are disclosed which have biological activity of the same type as known calcitonins and which are substitution analogs of natural calcitonins. Also resin peptides are disclosed which may be converted to peptides having such biological activity; and processes for producing said resin peptides and said calcitonin peptides.

A peptide having the structure:
- ##STR26##
A peptide having the structure:
- ##STR27##
A peptide having the structure:
- ##STR28## where R.sub.1 is S-n-alkyl, Cys or H and R.sub.2 is S-n-alkyl or H, R.sub.1 being S-n-alkyl, Cys or H when R.sub.2 is H and R.sub.2 being S-n-alkyl or H when R.sub.1 is H and H when R.sub.1 is S-n-alkyl or Cys, wherein S-n-alkyl is selected from the group consisting of methylthio, ethylthio, n-propylthio, n-butylthio, and equivalents thereof.
