In order to evaluate the role and influence of the methionine residue on the biological activity of cyclolinopeptide B, an analogue with methionine residue in position 7 replaced by the amphiphilic (S)-alpha-hydroxymethylmethionine residue was synthesized. This peptide exhibits high immunosuppressive activity in the cellular, and to a lesser degree in the humoral immune response, comparable to that of CsA. In addition, the peptide was devoid of toxicity, even at high doses.
