Cyclolinopeptides, cyclic peptides from flaxseed with osteoclast differentiation inhibitory activity

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2016 Apr 1;26(7):1760-1. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2016.02.040. Epub 2016 Feb 16.

Abstract

Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum seed) is widely used in food and natural health products. In our search for osteoclast differentiation inhibitors, some cyclic peptides isolated from flaxseed, known as the cyclolinopeptides, were discovered to have osteoclast differentiation inhibition activity. The osteoclast differentiation inhibition activity of cyclolinopeptides A-I (1-9) and their related derivatives (10-14) are described herein. Cyclolinopeptides F, H and I (6, 8 and 9), in particular, showed potent osteoclast differentiation inhibition activity.

Keywords: Cyclic peptides; Cyclolinopeptides; Flaxseed; Linum usitatissimum; Osteoclast differentiation.
