1. A compound having the formula:
- ##STR24## wherein X is (CH2)n wherein n is 0, 1 or 2 or sulfur;
Y is (CH2)m wherein m is 0, 1 or 2 or sulfur such that the sulfur may be in any position along the chain;
R1 and R2 are independently lower alkyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl wherein the substituent may be one or two of loweralkyl, halogen, hydroxy, amino, nitro or loweralkoxy; and
loweralkyl substituted with hydroxy, carboxy, amino, guanidino, or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring;
R3 is 3-indolylmethyl or substituted 3-indolylmethyl wherein the substituent may be loweralkyl, loweralkoxy or halogen;
R4 is loweralkyl, hydroxyloweralkyl, benzyl, carboxyloweralkyl, aminoloweralkyl or substituted hydroxy benzyl wherein the substituent may be loweralkyl, loweralkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, amino or nitro;
R5 is loweralkyl, benzyl, or substituted benzyl wherein the substituent is loweralkyl, loweralkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, amino or nitro; and
R6 and R7 are independently hydrogen or straight chain loweralkyl provided at least one of R6 and R7 is loweralkyl.

Abstract
Somatostatin analogs are prepared wherein a cyclic hexapeptide contains a secondary amino acid which replaces seven of the ring amino acids of somatostatin. The cyclic hexapeptides are easier to synthesize, have a longer duration of activity, and many have a greater level of activity than somatostatin. The compounds have the properties of inhibiting the release of glucagon, growth hormone and insulin. Certain of the compounds also are capable of inhibiting gastric acid secretions. The compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of acromegaly, diabetes, diabetic retinopathy and peptic ulcers. These cyclic hexapeptides are prepared by the solid phase method.
