Important aceumulations of liquid and gas as a result o lae~ing spontaneous motillty of the ileum are a eharacteristic of post-operative intestinai atony.

- - 3 - HOE 79/F _ 7 the lumerl of the bowels resulting in cir:culatory brea~ dC?~ I d3n~jerous to life. This development is counteracted b~ the peptides of the invention.
The peptides of the invention stimulate the motoricity of the gastro-intestinal tract and the efferen-t urinary tract in dogs and men. They increase the restin~ tonus and the se~mental contraction activity of the intestines and, therefore, promote secondly the water resorption from the lumen of the bowels ti1eum).
They have also a motility increasing action on the muscles of the efferent urinary tract and, therefore, they are suitable to stop atonies of the gastro-intesti-nal tract and of the efferent urinary tract.
~his effect is surprising, the more so as the peptides according to the invention are, in principle, known from literature. They have been tested as to their morphium-like action as enkephaline analoys in the ileum of Guinea pigs of which they hinder the contrac-tion. It has not been realized, however, that this effect is reversed in some species; whereby these compounds become valuable medicaments.

Up to now, attempts have been made to remedy post-operative intestinal atonies, characterized by the lack of the spontaneous motility of the intestine, by ad-ministration of parasympathomimetics. But a treatment of this type involves the danger of undesired systemic cholinergic effect, which is not the case with the peptldes to be used according to the invention.
It is therefore, the object of the present invention to provide a method of usiny peptides of the formula I
for increasing the motility of the muscles of the gastro-intestinal tract and the urinary tract and treating paralytic symptoms of -these muscles.
Suitable amino acids for component A in the formula I are preferably amino acids occurr:ing in proteins and the simple metabolites thereof, such as ornithine, methionine sulfoxide or sulfone, homocysteine, or .; pyroglutamic acid.

- 4 - HOE 79/F_27~
Suitab:Le ~-d-amino acids for colriponent ~ in the formula I are preferably enantiomers of amino acid~
oecurring in nature, which may be substituted in the side chain. The amino yroup can be substitutea, for example, by alkanoyl, cycloalkanoyl, aroyl, or aralkanoyl ea~h having up to 10 carbon atoms, by alkyl-, cyclo-alkyl or aralkyl-oxycarbonyl each having up to 7 carbon atoms. Hydroxy groups or mercapto groups can oe etherified by alkyl, aryl or aralkyl each having up to 10 carbon atoms, and carboxy groups may carry the groupings defined sub E (a). Thioethers can be converted to sulfoxide or sulfone and aromatics can be substituted by halogen, methyl, methoxy, nitro, or 1:rifluoromethyl.
Another suitable ~-d-amino acid is norleucine.
The ~ -amino alcohols and ~i~-amino acids speci-fied sub E can be in the l~ or also d-configuration.
Their side chains can be subs-tituted as specified above for the amino acids mentioned sub B. Suitable amino alcohols are, in the first place, the reduction products -of the corresponding natural amino acids, for example prolinol or methioninol, which on its part may also be present as sulfoxide or sulfone.
Espccially good results are obtained with compounds in which component E is a methyl-polyethylene glycol having a degree of polymerization of up to 50. Compounds of this type are novel and are also a subject of the present invention.
They have the interesting property of increasing the effect of the basic peptide compound and to improve its solubility so that they make it possible to use the peptides, whieh are difficulty soluble for themselves, for the method of the invention.
Numerous representàtives of the peptides aecordiny to the invention are known from literature. In general, they are prepared by methods of peptide chemistr~ which are described in detail in a great number of publieations.
The peptides according to the invention are effective even :in a dose of 10 nanograms per kilogram althotlc3h no - adverse effeets are observed if they are adminl7texed in . ~ . ' , :
, .

~ 5 -- ~IOE 7g/F 278 higher doses. Uncler suitable conditions mor-phi.ne exhi-bits simi]ar effect, but only in an about 50 times highe-r~ dose. To obtain the same effect with carbaminoyl choline having a parasympathomimetric activity an about 10-fold dose in necessary. ~ence, the peptides according to the invention belong to the most active effectors of the motoricity of the gas'~ro-intestinal tract and the efferent urinary tract. It is known that they have a morphine-like effect bwt with the small doses required the hemato-encephalic barrier is not passed over after intravenous, subcutaneous or intra-nasal administration of the effective doses. Hence, in the amounts re~uired for the purposes of the invention they do not exhibit any effect in the central nervous system.
Variations of components A to D of the peptides do not change the quality of the described effect, they only result in a varying quantitative increase of the e~ffect as compared with the very weakly effective basic compound, i.e. natural enkephaline.
Depending on the compound used, doses of from 0.5 to 500 micrograms are given for men by intravenous administration or subcutaneous administration, whereas the dose for intranasal administration ranges from about 20 micrograms to 25 milligrams. In the case of resorption troubles, for example, the dose can be increased.
The compounds of the invention can be used for the treatment of post-operative atonies of the gastro-intestinal -tract and the efferent urinary tract They can also be used in the treatment of the Hirschsprung disease caused by an inherent megacolon. A therapy with the compounds of the invention has the advantage that the effect of the peptides can be counteracted at any time by administration of opiate antagonists.
