J. Vinsova et al., SPIROCYCLIC DIPEPTIDES OF 1-AMINO-1-CYCLOHEXANECARBOXYLIC ACID, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(1), 1994, pp. 195-202
Spirocyclic cyclodipeptides with 1-amino-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid
of the general formula cyclo(-Ach-A-), where A is Gly, L-Ala, D-Ala, L
-Val, D-Val, L-Leu, D-Leu, D-Pgl, L-Phe or D-Phe, have been prepared b
y cyclization of the corresponding linear dipeptide methyl esters. The
peptides cyclo(-L- or D-Ala-Ach-), cyclo(-L-Val-Ach-) and cyclo(-D-Le
u-Ach-) show higher activity in the Chick Embryotoxicity Screening Tes
t when compared with derivatives containing 1-amino-1-cyclo-pentanecar
boxylic acid or 1-amino-1-cyclobutanecarboxylic acid.
