Synthesis and biological evaluation of type VI β-turn templated RGD peptidomimetics

We report the design, synthesis, and binding affinities of a family of cyclic RGD peptides attached to type VI β-turn scaffolds. The analogues prepared exhibit interesting binding data to the isolated receptors αvβ3 and αvβ5. The results demonstrate the utility of these type VI β-turn scaffolds for the constraint of biologically relevant peptides.
