The information available on natural ligands provided by recent advances in genome science is exponentially increasing and amplifies the opportunities for medicinal chemists to develop novel pharmaceuticals.[1] Rational drug design of agonists/antagonists from natural ligands offers one of the most powerful methodologies for drug discovery, while development of innovative methods is required to facilitate the processes. Herein, we report a new strategy for the downsizing of bioactive peptides using two orthogonal small libraries of cyclic peptides, which allowed us to identify a novel CXCR4 antagonist equipotent to the parent peptide.[2]We previously reported that T140 [3] is a highly potent specific antagonist of the CXCR4-chemokine receptor, which is relevant to HIV-1 infection, cancer metastasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic lymphocytic B-cell leukemia.[4] Our structure–activity relationship studies on T140, which consists of 14 amino acid residues and one disulfide bridge between Cys 4 and Cys 13, have revealed that four indispensable amino acid residues, Arg2, Nal3, Tyr5, and Arg14, are responsible for its intrinsic bioactivity (Scheme 1).[3a] In addition, NMR
