Abstract
The synthesis of three new analogues of the cyclic cationic antimicrobial peptide Gramicidin S is described. These derivatives contain a modified turn region in which the (D)Phe-Pro motif has been replaced by a constrained furanoid sugar amino acid or a flexible linear aminoethoxy acetic acid moiety. Structural analysis revealed conformational changes in the modified turn region compared to GS. The biological profile of these compounds however resembles that of Gramicidin S and previously described analogues. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
