In the present paper we describe the synthesis, purification, and single crystal x-ray analysis of the cyclic pentapeptide cyclo-(L-Pro-L-Pro-L-Phe- β-Ala-β-Ala). The peptide was synthesized by classical solution methods and the cyclization of the free pentapeptide was accomplished in good yields in diluted methylenechloride solution using N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 from hot water with five solvent molecules. The Pro1-Pro2 peptide bond is cis and the molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the CO group of the β-Ala5 and the NH of the Phe3 residue. The Pro1-Pro2 segment occupies the relative positions 2 and 3 of a type VIa β-turn, while the L-phenylalanyl-β-alanyl-β-alanine segment is incorporated in a C13- like ring structure. The crystal packing is characterized by a network of 11 intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving all the remaining CO, NH, and the water molecules.
