Summary A simple method is described for the facile synthesis of gramicidin S and six other analogs, using standard solidphase synthetic technology and a single solution-phase cyclization step. The peptides were purified to homogeneity and characterized by plasma desorption time-of-flight mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. Complete 1H NMR assignments for all seven peptides (in aqueous solution) are presented. Unlike previous approaches, the presented method is simple, automatable, rapid (less than three days), high-yielding, requires no side-chain protection during cyclization, and appears to be generally applicable to the preparation of a variety of related head-to-tail cyclic peptides.
