Abstract
(Figure Presented) Without affecting the overall 3D structure, amide-to-ester backbone substitution (or ester scan) exerts a pronounced influence on the conformational equilibrium of the RCD cyclopeptide cilengitide and its derivatives (see figure; RGD = Arg-GlyAsp). The appropriate substitution, which stabilized the receptor-complementary conformations, improved the biological activity of this integrin antagonist.
