Abstract
Linear hepta-peptide Cys-Lys-Gly-Asp-Trp-Asp-Cys was synthesized first and then disulfide bond was formed between the Cys1 and Cys7 to develop cyclo-heptapeptide containing Lys-Gly-Asp-sequence. Structural simulation showed that Lys-Gly-Asp-motif (KDG) displayed functional conformation. The cyclo-heptapeptide exhibited potent anti-platelet aggregation activity based on specific recognition and interaction with the GPIIb-IIIa receptor on platelet cell membrane. The specific and potent anti-platelet activity makes the KGD-containing cyclo-heptapeptide a possible therapeutic agent.
