H. Morita et al., Cyclic peptides from higher plants. Part 45 - Cyclolinopeptides B-E, new cyclic peptides from Linum usitatissimum, TETRAHEDRON, 55(4), 1999, pp. 967-976
New cyclic nona and octapeptides, cyclolinopeptides B - E were isolated fro
m the seeds of Linum usitatissimum and their structures were elucidated as
cyclo (-Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe-Val-Ile-Met-Leu-Ile-), cyclo (-Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe-VaI-
Ile-Mso-Leu-Ile-), cycle (-Pro-Phe-Wle-Trp-Ile-Mso-Leu-Leu-), and cyclo (-P
ro-Leu-Phe-Ile-Mso-Leu-Val-Phe-), respectively, by extensive 2D NMR methods
and chemical degradations. Cyclolinopeptides B and E showed immunosuppress
ive activity. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
