A cyclic carbo-isosteric penta-depsipeptide: cyclo(Phe(1)-d-Ala(2)-Gly(3)-Phe(4)-APO(5)).

ABSTRACT: The title compound, cyclo(Phe(1)-d-Ala(2)-Gly(3)-Phe(4)-APO(5)), C26H32N4O5, is the minor diastereoisomer of a cyclic penta-peptidomimetic analogue containing a novel 2-amino-propyl lactone (APO) motif, which displays the same number of atoms as the native amino acid glycine and has a methyl group in place of the carbonyl O atom. The crystal structure presented here allows the analysis of the secondary structure of this unprecedented cyclic carbo-isosteric depsipeptide. The conformation of the central ring is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond between the carbonyl O atom of the first residue (Phe(1)) and the amide group H atom of the fourth residue (Phe(4)). Based on the previously reported hydrogen bond and on the values of the torsion angles ϕ and ψ, the loop formed by
