The cyclic hexapeptide analogue of somatostatin, c[Phe psi(CH2-N)Pro-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr], was prepared by solid-phase synthesis of the linear precursor, followed by cyclization using diphenylphosphoryl azide. The inhibition of GH release, as well as receptor affinity, is greatly decreased. Conformational analysis by NMR in DMSO/H2O (1/1) revealed the presence of a type II' beta-turn in the core tetrapeptide region and a delta-turn over the reduced peptide bond.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010456 Peptides, Cyclic Peptides whose amino acid residues are linked together forming a circular chain. Some of them are ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS; some are biosynthesized non-ribosomally (PEPTIDE BIOSYNTHESIS, NON-RIBOSOMAL).
