Complex formation with alkali and alkaline earth metal ions of cycIic octapeptides, cyclo(Phe-Pro)c, cyclo(Leu-Pro)4, and cyclo[Lys(Z)-Pro]4 was investigated in relation to conformation. In an alcohol solution, cyclo(Phe-Pro)4 did not form complexes. However, cyclo(Leu-Pro)4 and cyclo[Lys(Z)-Pro]4 f

β¦ Synopsis
Cyclic octapeptides, cyclo(X-Pro)4, where X represents Phe, Leu, or Lys(Z), were synthesized and their conformations investigated. A Cz-symmetric conformer containing two cis peptide bonds was found in all of these cyclic octapeptides. The numbers of available conformations due to the cis-trans isomerization of Pro peptide bonds depended on the nature of the solvent and X residue: they decreased in the following order: cyclo[Lys(Z)-Pro]~ > cycl~(Leu-Pro)~ > cyclo(Phe-Pro)4 in CDCla. 13C spin-lattice relaxation times ( 2 ' 1 ) of these cyclic octapeptides were measured, and the contribution of segmental mobility to 2 ' 1 was found t o vary with the nature of the X residue.

Many cyclic peptides are formed using a disulfide bond to increase their conformational rigidity; this provides receptor selectivity and increased potency. However, degradation of the disulfide bond in formulation can lead to a loss of structural stability and biological activity of the peptide. The
