Preface
If you are used to the Methods in Molecular Biology series, you will notice right away that
thereareveryfewmethodsandvirtuallynomolecularbiologyinthisparticularedition.This

Interests in cyclic peptide design, synthesis, and applications keep growing since this
class of chemicals has become a credible alternative source of new drug leads on par with
traditional small molecules. Cyclic peptides are particularly suited to bridge the chemical
spacegapbetweensaidsmallmoleculesandproteinsandantibodies.
This book covers strategies to improve cell permeability, intestinal permeability, and
metabolicstability,whicharethetypicalliabilitiesassociatedwithcyclicpeptides,toenhance
protein-protein recognition, and to build upon nature’s cyclic peptides and macrocycles.
Chapters also cover key peptide screening and display strategies, as well as important
syntheticapproachestowardscyclicandhelicalpeptides.
Researchers within the pharmaceutical industry as well as scientists and studentsin the
bioorganic, medicinal, and natural product chemistry fields will find this book a critical
resourceandago-toreference.

1 Introduction
Cyclic peptides are an exciting therapeutic modality, with the
potential to inhabit an attractive “middle space” between tradi-
tionalsmallmoleculesandbiologicals[1].Anintriguingpossibility,
as exemplified by cyclosporine A [2], is that cyclic peptides can be
discoveredwhichhavesignificantoralbioavailability,providingthe
convenience and compliance of oral dosing while retaining the
ability to bind to larger sites such as protein-protein interfaces.
Cyclic peptides often lie just beyond the “Rule-of-5” [3], which
describes a physical property space with an improved likelihood of
oral bioavailability, but recent work has identified a wide range of
cyclicpeptideswithsignificantoralbioavailability[4–11],including
thoseshowninTable1.
A recent analysis of the properties of orally bioavailable drugs
[12] described the physical properties most important for oral
