摘要 |
The present invention provides a cyclic peptide comprising the structure: wherein X is selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, an amino acid analog, a peptidomimetic and a non-amide isostere, Z is selected from the group consisting of a synthetic amino acid and a biosynthetic amino acid, R is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and carbon, n is 0 to 10 and y is 1 to 10. The present invention also provides a cyclic peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of NH<SUB>2</SUB>-X<SUB>(n)</SUB>-Z-X<SUB>(y)</SUB>-COOH and a cyclic bond between the Z residue and COOH other than a thioester bond, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of an amino acid, an amino acid analog, a peptidomimetic and a non-amide isostere, Z is selected from the group consisting of a synthetic amino acid and a biosynthetic amino acid, n is 0 to 10 and y is 1 to 10. Methods of preparation including a cyclization protocol, and methods of use of the cyclic peptides of the invention are also disclosed.
