Cyclic Peptides As Drugs

Cyclic peptides show great success as therapeutics. A connection between the amino end and a side chain for example in bacitracin.

This dissertation focuses on a class of cyclic peptides as intracellular molecular transporters that can be used as prodrugs or peptide capped gold nanoparticles.

Cyclic peptides as drugs. Cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains which contain a circular sequence of bonds. The mimicry of protein secondary structures eg. This can be through a connection between the amino and carboxyl ends of the peptide for example in cyclosporin.

The ring structure can be formed by linking one end of the peptide and the other with an amide bond or other chemically stable bonds such as lactone ether thioether disulfide and so on. The carboxyl end and a side chain for example in colistin. Nus biologists have developed cyclic peptides that can trigger cancer cell death without affecting healthy cells.

Only a small number of peptides have been commercialized as drugs generally requiring injection for delivery. The development of a peptide lead to a commercial drug is a very challenging and time consuming process. Cyclic peptides have proven to be useful for several applications.

Examples of widely applied cyclic peptide drugs are the hormones or hormone analogues oxytocin octreotide and vasopressin the antibiotics vancomycin daptomycin and polymyxin b or the immunosuppressant cyclosporine 1 2. Over 40 cyclic peptide drugs are currently in clinical use and around one new cyclic peptide drug enters the market every year on average. Cyclic peptides combine several favorable properties such as good binding affinity target selectivity and low toxicity that make them an attractive modality for the development of therapeutics.

Cyclic peptides and peptide drugs cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains taking cyclic ring structure. Or two side chains or more complicated arrangements for example in amanitin. Peptides generally suffer from poor in vivo stability poor pharmacokinetics and poor bioavailability.

Cyclic peptide drug conjugates can be used as alternative prodrug approach for improving delivery of compounds with limited cellular uptake. The design and synthesis of homochiral l cyclic peptides and their application for the nuclear targeting delivery of anti hiv drugs and biomolecules have been reported by us22 moreover physical mixing of the cyclic peptide containing arginine tryptophan and haucl 4 resulted in the generation of peptide. Peptide cyclization to form cyclic peptides or cyclized peptides is a frequently used strategy for the development of peptides with enhanced conformational stability compared to their linear analogs.

Cyclic disulfide rich peptides are a group of intermediate sized molecules with the potential to overcome some of the stability limitations of current biopharmaceutical drugs.
