Lactam Ring Cyclic Peptides
We offer a versatile platform for the synthesis of lactam ring cyclic peptides, also referred to as amide bond cyclic peptides.
Several antibiotics have been developed based on the presence of beta lactam rings in their structures (Eg. penicillin and derivatives) and thus, lactam ring cyclization represents a potential antimicrobial drug development opportunity.
Further, cyclic RGD peptides and analogues (containing lactam rings) can function as peptidomimetics influencing cellular adhesion and migration in different cellular states.
Cyclization configurations
The primary ligation approaches to synthesize lactam cyclic peptides are
head-to-tail, side-chain-to-side-chain, head-to-side-chain, and side-chain-to-tail,
depending on the location of the functional groups within the peptide sequence.
- Occurs between N-terminus to C-terminus.
- Via Amide bond formation (lactamization).
- Most frequently used cyclization conferring greater stability.
Occurs between N-terminus and an internal COOH
(e.g. the ß-COOH-group of Asp or γ-COOH-group of Glu).
Occurs between internal NH2s and C-terminus
(e.g. the ε-NH2–group of Lys).
Occurs between Side chain of Lysine (ε-NH2–group of Lys)
to Aspartic or Glutamic acid (γ-COOH-group).
