title: Ala analogues of the cyclolinopeptide A.
abstract: Analogues of cyclolinopeptide A, due to the replacement of each amino acid in the Pro1-Pro2-Phe3-Phe4 sequences with an L-Ala residue, were synthesized by classical method in solution. Mixed anhydride and N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide coupling methods have been used for the synthesis of both linear and cyclic peptides. The products were characterized by Rf values and uv spectra, as well as by fast atom bombardment spectroscopy. 1H-nmr studies on [Ala2] analogues are also reported. Preliminary data in CDCl3 solution, at low temperature, seems more promising.
