Elcatonin, also known as carbocalcitonin, is the aminosuberic acid analog of eel calcitonin. It has all the biological properties of the corresponding natural calcitonin (H-2255). The substitution of the disulfide bond of natural calcitonins with an ethylene bridge in 1-7 N-terminal position gives elcatonin greater stability and excellent tolerability when used in vivo.
