RESUMO
The solid-phase synthesis of cyclic RGD peptides containing either one or two furanoid sugar amino acids (SAAs) is reported. Using a cyclization-cleavage approach five peptides were successfully assembled and consecutively tested on their ability to bind to the integrin receptors alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(IIb)beta(3). The cyclic tetrapeptide c[RGD-SAA] (1) showed the most promising activity in an inhibition assay with an IC(50) of 1.49 microM for the alpha(v)beta(3) receptor and 384 nM for the alpha(IIb)beta(3) receptor.
