We recently reported the rational design, synthesis, and structural characterization of the most potent and selective peptide-based neurokinin A antagonist thus far described: cyclo (Met (1) -Asp (2) -Trp (3) -Phe (4) -Dap (5) -Leu (6)) cyclo (2 beta-5 beta). Its bicyclic structure is characterized by a type I and a type II two beta-turn around Trp (3) -Phe (4) and Leu (6) -Met (1), respectively. In order to understand whether the two different beta-turned structures are determined by the bicyclic structure or by the amino acid type at the corner positions, we have synthesized the pseudo-symmetrical analogue cyclo (Phe (1) -Asp (2) -Trp (3) -Phe (4) -Dap (5) -Trp (6)) cyclo (2 beta-5 beta). The structural characterization in the crystal state and in solution, here reported, gives an experimental evidence that the backbone of the bicyclic structure is a rigid scaffold that can be used to build both a type I and type II beta-turn independently from the amino acid composition.
