An unselective cyclic peptide integrin ligand was sequentially N-methylated by a designed approach, where only the externally oriented (solvent exposed) amide bonds were N-methylated. The N-methylation resulted in tremendous enhancement in selectivity among the different integrin receptor subtypes (alpha 5 beta 1, alpha v beta 3, and alpha IIb beta 3). Conformational and docking studies were performed, which suggested that the receptor selectivity is principally caused by reduced backbone flexibility due to N-methylation.
