Abstract

Cyclopentapeptides containing the Arg-Gly-Asp motif have been synthesised using solid- phase assembly of side-chain-protected linear precursors, followed by solution-phase cyclisation. The replacement of the Asp residue by γ-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) is a novel feature which gives rise to an analogue which inhibits cell adhesion, yet its congeners do not show activity in binding assays with recombinant integrin receptors. NMR techniques ...
