α-Amanitin Bacitracin Ciclosporin. Cyclic peptides are polypeptide chains which contain a circular sequence of bonds. [1] This can be through a connection between the amino and carboxyl ends of the peptide, for example in cyclosporin; a connection between the amino end and a side chain, for example in bacitracin; the carboxyl end and a side chain, for example in colistin; or two side chains ...
The active ingredient was later determined to be a cyclic peptide, named kalata B1, after the traditional name for the tea, kalata-kalata. Although in vivo studies in rats confirmed the uterotonic activity of the purified peptide, it was another 20 years before the cyclic cystine knot motif and structure of the purified peptide were elucidated ...

A number of natural antimicrobial peptides are cyclic, and the products of SICLOPPS are "increasingly viewed as ideal backbones for modulation of protein-protein interactions." [ 3 ] Circular peptides tend to be resistant to protease activity, and may be suitable for use as orally administered drugs.
Types include a) cyclic mobius, b) cyclic bracelet, c) acyclic inhibitor knottins. [3] Cystine knot motifs are found frequently in nature in a plethora of plants, animals, and fungi and serve diverse functions from appetite suppression to anti-fungal activity.
[44] [30] For example, the cyclic peptide ACDCRGDCFCG, also known as RGD4C, was shown to be 200-fold more potent than commonly used linear RGD peptides. [30] The structural rigidity of cyclic RGD peptides improves their binding properties and prevents degradation at the highly susceptible aspartic acid residue, thereby increasing their ...

Each nonribosomal peptide synthetase can synthesize only one type of peptide. Nonribosomal peptides often have cyclic and/or branched structures, can contain non-proteinogenic amino acids including D-amino acids, carry modifications like N-methyl and N-formyl groups, or are glycosylated, acylated, halogenated, or hydroxylated.
