Description: CYCLIC PEPTIDES HAVING BROAD SPECTRUM ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY 1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to cyclic peptides having broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. The cyclic peptides are biocidal against a wide variety of pathogens, including clinically relevant vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium , methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae . The cyclic peptides of the invention have improved efficacy, bioavailability and/or serum half-life as compared to non- cyclized analogues. 2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION With the recent dramatic rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and infectious diseases, the need for new antimicrobial agents is urgent (Cohen et al . , 1992, Science 257 : 1050-1055) . For example, recently strains of Enterococcus faecium that are resistant to vancomycin have been observed (Moellering, 1990, Clin. icrobiol. Rev. 2:46- 65) . As vancomycin is considered to be the antibiotic of last resort for several pathogens, strains resistant to vancomycin pose a serious health threat to society. Despite this urgency, in more than ten years only one completely different type of antibiotic, a streptogra in mixture called Synercid (Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, Collegeville, PA) , has reached Phase III clinical trials (Pfeiffer, 1996, "New Anti- Microbial Therapies Described," Genetic Engineering News 16 (8) :1) . Recently, a new class of antimicrobial or antibiotic agents based on naturally-occurring antimicrobial peptides produced within plants, animals and insects have been discovered. These peptides include, among others, cecropins (Hultmar et al . , 1980, Eur . J. Biochem. 106:7-16; Hultmark et al . , 1982, Eur. J. Biochem. 127 :207-217) , apidaecins (Casteels et al . , 1989, EMBO J. 8_: 2387-2391 ) , againins (Zasloff, 1987, Proc. Natl. Acad . Sci. U.S.A. 84:5449-5453; Zasloff et al . , 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:910- 913), tachyplesins and analogues of tachyplesins such as polyphe usins (Nakamura et al . , 1988, J. Biol. Chem. 263 : 16709-16713 ; Miyata et al . , 1989, J. Biochem. 106: 663- 668), defensins (Lehrer et al . , 1991, Cell 64 : 229-230 ; Lehrer et al . , 1923, Ann. Rev. Immunol. JL1:105-128; U.S. Patent No. 4 ,705,777 ; " U.S. Patent No. 4 ,659 ,692; U.S. Patent No. 4,543,252), 3-defensins (Selsted et al . , 1993, J. Biol. Chem. 288 :6641-6648 ; Diamond et al . , 1991, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.A. 8_8 : 3952-3958) , insect defensins (Lambert et al . , 1989, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 8:262-265; Matsuya a and Natori, 1988, J. Biol. Chem. 263 : 17112-17116) , and protegrins (Kokryakov et al . , 1993, FEBS 337:231-236; Zhao et al . , 1994, FEBS Letters 346:285-288 ; Migorodskaya et al . , 1993, FEBS 330 : 339-342 ; Storici et al . , 1993, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun . 196: 1363-1367; Zhao et al . , 1994, FEBS Lett. 346:285- 288; Manzoni et al . , 1996, FEBS Lett. 383:93-98 ; U.S. Patent No. 5,464,823). The discovery of these new classes of antimicrobial peptides offers hope that some might be developed into agents that can be used against microorganisms of medicinal importance. Those of animal origin are of particular importance, as these antimicrobial peptides generally exhibit activity against antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains and have a lower frequency of resistance as compared to conventional antibiotics (Steinberg et al . , 1996, "Protegrins: Fast Acting Bactericidal Peptides," presented at : Intl. Symposium on Staphylococci and Staphylococcus Infections , Aix les Bains, France) . At least one of these peptides, magainin MSI-78, is currently in Phase III clinical trials for infections associated with diabetic foot ulcers (Craig, Aug. 17, 1995, BioWorld Today 6(158) :1). The use of peptides as therapeutic agents in general, however, has not been completely satisfactory. Peptides composed of L-amino acids undergo rapid proteolysis in the gut, making oral administration, the method generally associated with the highest patient compliance, extremely difficult. Additionally, peptides degrade fairly rapidly in serum and therefore must be administered in large doses which often can cause numerous adverse side effects and serious toxicity. As peptides are expensive to manufacture, high dosage levels contribute significantly to the overall cost of peptide therapeutics. Furthermore, the flexibility of the peptide structure in solution is often associated with low biological .activity and/or selectivity. It has now been discovered that cyclic peptides related to the tachyplesin and protegrin classes of antimicrobial peptides exhibit broad spectrum antimicrobial activity typically associated with these classes of peptides while overcoming many of the disadvantages of peptide therapeutics discussed above. Thus, the cyclic peptides are ideally suited for use as antimicrobial therapeutic agents. For example, cyclic peptides are more resistant to proteolytic degradation and therefore have a greater potential for oral administration and/or lower dosage levels than non-cyclized peptides. Cyclization also confers structural stability without interfering with the side chains necessary for bioactivity, potentially leading to greater efficacy. Cyclic analogues of the various known classes of antimicrobial peptides have not been reported in the literature. The only cyclic antibiotic peptide described in the literature are gramicidin-S (Tamaki et al . , 1995, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 4 . 5:299-302; Gause, 1994, Lancet 247 : 715 ; Battersby et al . , 1951, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 7J3:1887; Schwyzen et al . , 1957, Helv. Chi . Acta 4 . 0:624), grastatin (Zharikova et al . , 1972, Vestn. Mosk. Univ. Biol. Pochivoved 27: 110; Myaskovskaya et al . , 1973, Vestn. Mosk. Univ. Biol. Pochivoved 2J3:123) and tyrocidines (Laiken et al . , 1969, J. Biol. Chem. 244 :4454 ; Gibbons et al . , 1975, Biochemistry 4:420). Significantly, these cyclic peptides are known to be toxic and do not contain positively-charged amino acid residues in loop or turn regions of the molecules-- a feature of the novel class of cyclic peptides described herein thought to be important for broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and improved efficacy towards antibiotic-resistant microbes . 3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In one aspect, the present invention provides cyclic peptides having antimicrobial activity. The cyclic peptides of the invention are generally comprised of about 10-30 amino acid residues and may contain regions or segments of peptidomimetic moieties. The cyclic peptides are characterized by a structure containing three main elements or domains: an a phiphilic anti-parallel /3-sheet region, a / 3-turn region and a loop region. Each strand of the amphiphilic anti-parallel -sheet region comprises about 3 to 11 amino acid residues, with each strand having the same number of residues. The ,θ-sheet is amphiphilic, i.e., one surface of the /3-sheet has a net hydrophobic character and the other surface has a net hydrophilic character. The amphiphilic /3-sheet region may optionally contain zero, one or two interstrand disulfide interlinkages . The 3-turn region reverses the direction of the polypeptide chain so as to allow a portion of the polypeptide chain to adopt an anti-parallel / 3-sheet secondary structure. Typically, the /3-turn region comprises a four amino acid residue peptide segment. Preferably, the two internal amino acid residues of the / 3-turn are not involved in the hydrogen- bonding of the / 3-sheet; the two amino acid residues on either side of the internal residues are included in the hydrogen- bonding of the / 3-sheet. Alternatively, the / 3-turn region may comprise an organic molecule that mimics the structure of a peptide -turn. Like the / 3-turn region, the loop region links the anti- parallel strands comprising the -sheet region. Typically, the loop region comprises a two to four amino acid residue reverse-turn such as a γ-turn or a / 3-turn. Alternatively, the loop region may comprise an organic molecule that mimics the structure of a peptide reverse-turn. Lastly, the cyclic peptides of the invention are basic, i.e., they have a net positive charge at physiological pH. Typically, about 15% to 50% of the amino acid residues comprising the peptide are basic amino acid residues. At least one amino acid residue in the loop or /3-turn region of the peptide is a basic amino acid residue. Thus, in one illustrative embodiment the invention is directed to cyclic peptides having the formula: X 2'6 X 27 X 28 Z l -X 2 -(X 3 -X 4 ) m (X 5 ) n Z 5 -X 7 -X 8 23 X 22 X 21 Z 20 X 19 ( X 18 X 17)m~( X 16)n Z 15 X 14 X 13 X 12 wherein m=0,l,2 and n=0,l with the proviso that when m=2 , n=0; X 21 , X 22 < x 24 ' x 25 ' x 27 and X 28 are eac h independently present or absent ; X 7 and X 14 are either both present or both absent; X 8 and X 13 are either both present or both absent; X 2 ' X 3 ' 4 ' 5 ' 7 ' 8 ' 13' 14' 16' 17' 18 ' 19 ' 21' X 22 , X 27 and X 28 are each independently a hydrophobic amino acid, a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid, with the provisos that (i) when X 2 is a hydrophobic amino acid X 7 , X 14 , X 19 , X 21 and X 28 are each independently a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid and X 3 , X 8 , X 13 , Xig, X 22 an< ^ X 27 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid; and (ii) when X 2 is a hydrophilic amino acid X 7 , X 14 , X 19 , X 21 and X 28 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid and X 3 , X 8 , X 13 , X 18 , X 22 and X 27 are each independently a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid; X 23 , X 2 , X 25 ant ^ x 26 taken together are a loop; Z , Z 6 , Z 15 and Z 20 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid, a small amino acid or a cysteine-like amino acid; X 9 , X 10 , X xl and X 12 taken together are a / 3-turn; at least one of X 9 , X 10 , X llf x ι 2 ' X 23 ' x 24 ' x 25 or x 25 ^ ε a basic amino acid; and wherein the peptide has a net positive charge at physiological pH . The cyclic peptides of the invention exhibit broad spectrum antimicrobial activity, being biocidal against a wide range of microbial targets, including gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, yeast, fungi and protozoa. Accordingly, the peptides can be used as antimicrobial agents in a wide variety of applications.

Protein Chem. 3 :1-109; Wilmer-White et al . , 1987, Trends Biochem. Sci. JL2: 189-192; Wil ot et al . , 1988, J. Mol. Biol. 203 :221-232 ; Sibanda et al . , 1989, J. Mol. Biol. 206:759-777 ; Tramontano et al . , 1989, Proteins : Struct . Funct. Genet. 6_:382-394), as well aε peptidomimetic /3-turns, including, among other, those described in Giannis and Kolter, 1993, Aqnew. Chem. Intl. Ed. Eng . 32:1244-1267; Kahn et al . , 1988, J. Molecular Recognition 1:75-79; and Kahn and Chen, 1987, Tetrahedron Lett. 28:1623-1626). "jβ-Turn Sequence:" As used herein, "/3-turn sequence" refers to the primary structure of a /3-turn.

The peptides of the invention exhibit broad spectrum antimicrobial activity, being biostatic or biocidal against a wide range of microbial targets, including but not limited to, Gram-negative bacteria such as Eεcherichia coli , Pseudomonas aerug±noεa , Klebsiella ssp . , and Hemophilus influenza ; Gram-positive bacteria such as Enterococcus faecium , Staphylococcus aureus , the viridans group of streptococci including Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus mitis ; Streptococcus pneumonia ; and yeast such as Candida albi cans , Candida glabrata and Candida krusei . Significantly, the cyclic peptides described herein are biostatic or biocidal against clinically relevant pathogens exhibiting multi-drug resistance such as, among others, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium ("VRE"), penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneujπoniae ("PRSP") and ethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ("MRSA"). The cyclic peptides of the invention (or compositions thereof) are useful as biocidal or biostatic agents in a wide variety of ' applications. For example, the peptides can be used to disinfect or preserve a variety of materials including medical instruments, foodstuffs, medicaments, cosmetics and other nutrient-containing materials. The cyclic peptides of the invention are particularly useful as bacteriostatic or bactericidal agents against multi-drug- resistant pathogens such as VRE and MRSA in a variety of clinical settings. The cyclic peptides, or compositions thereof, are also useful for the prophylaxis or treatment of microbial infections and diseases related thereto in both plants and animals. Such diseases include, but are not limited to, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections, endocarditis, pneumonia and other respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, systemic candidiasiε, oral mucositis, etc. The peptides described herein provide significant advantages over traditional antibiotics and/or non-cyclized antimicrobial peptides. For example, as the cyclic peptides described herein are related to antimicrobial peptides found naturally in plants, insects and animals, it is believed that the relatively high frequency of resistance observed for traditional antibiotics will not be observed for the cyclic peptides described herein. Additionally, the cyclic peptides described herein are more resistant to proteolytic cleavage and therefore have a longer serum and/or gut half-life than non-cyclized antimicrobial peptides, thereby providing greater potential for oral administration and lower dosage levels. Lastly, cyclization confers structural stability to the peptide, oftentimes leading to improved efficacy and concomitant lower therapeutic costs as compared to non- cyclized analogues. 5 . 2 . 1 The Peptides General ly , the cyclic peptides of the invention have the f ormula : The designation X n in each case represents an amino acid at the specified position in the peptide. Similarly, the designation Z n represents an amino acid at the specified position and further represents those positions in the peptide which may optionally contain amino acid residues capable of forming disulfide interlinkages . As will be discussed in more detail below, certain residues X n , n+] _, etc. taken together comprise specified secondary structures. Some of these structures can be obtained with organic molecules that mimic the peptide secondary structure ("peptidomimetic moieties"). In these cases, the specified designations X n , X n+1 , etc. may also refer, when taken together, to the peptidomimetic moieties. As the peptides of the invention are cyclic and therefore do not have amino or carboxy termini, it is to be understood that the relative positions of X n and Z n in the peptides of formula I have been arbitrarily assigned for purposes of illustration and discussion only. The specified positions do not carry independent significance. The amino acid residues denoted by X n or Z n may be the genetically encoded L-amino acids, naturally occurring non- genetically encoded L-amino acids, synthetic L-amino acids or D-enantiomers of all of the above. The amino acid notations used herein for the twenty genetically encoded L-amino acids and common non-encoded amino acids are conventional and are as follows: The cyclic peptides described herein are partially defined terms of ammo acid residues of designated classes. The ammo acids are generally categorized into three main classes, hydrophilic ammo acids, hydrophobic ammo acids, and small ammo acids, depending primarily on the characteristics of the ammo acid side chain. These mam classes are further divided into subclasses. Hydrophilic ammo acids include ammo acids having acidic, basic or polar side chains and hydrophobic amino acids include ammo acids having aromatic or apolar side chains. As will be discussed more thoroughly below, the class of small ammo acids includes am o acids having either polar or apolar side chains, but wherein the side chain does not contribute significantly to the net properties of the peptide. The definitions of the classes of am o acids as used herein are as follows: "Hydrophobic Amino Acid" refers to an amino acid having a side chain that is uncharged at physiological pH and that is repelled by agueous solution so as to seek the inner positions in the conformation of a peptide in which it is contained when the peptide is in aqueous medium. "Aromatic Amino Acid" refers to a hydrophobic amino acid having a side chain containing at least one ring having a conjugated π-electron system (aromatic group) . Genetically encoded aromatic amino acids include phenylalanine , tyrosine and tryptophan. Non-genetically encoded aromatic amino acids include phenylglycine , 2-naphthylalanine, -2-thienylalanine, 1, 2 , 3 ,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, 4-chloro- phenylalanine, 2-fluorophenylalanine, 3-fluorophenylalanine and 4-fluorophenylalanine. "Apolar Amino Acid" refers to a hydrophobic amino acid having a side chain that is uncharged at physiological pH . Genetically encoded apolar amino acids include leucine, valine, isoleucine and methionine. Non-genetically encoded apolar amino acids include t-butylalanine, t-butylglycine, N-methylisoleucine, norleucine, N-methyl valine and cyclohexylalanine . "Hydrophilic Amino Acid" refers to an amino acid having a side chain that is attracted by aqueous solution so as to seek the surface positions in the conformation of a peptide in which it is contained when the peptide is in aqueous medium at physiological pH. "Acidic Amino Acid" refers to a hydrophilic amino acid having a side chain pK value of less than 7. Acidic amino acids typically have negatively charged side chains at physiological pH due to loss of a hydrogen ion. Genetically encoded acidic amino acids include aspartic acid (aspartate) and glutamic acid (glutamate) . "Basic Amino Acid" refers to a hydrophilic amino acid having a side chain pK value of greater than 7. Basic amino acids typically have positively charged side chains at physiological pH due to association with hydronium ion. Genetically encoded basic amino acids include the non-cyclic amino acids arginine and lysine and the cyclic amino acid histidine. Non-genetically encoded basic amino acids include the non-cyclic amino acids ornithine, 2 , 3-diaminopropionic acid, 2 , 4-diaminobutyric acid and homoarginine. "Polar Amino Acid" refers to a hydrophilic amino acid having a side chain that is uncharged at physiological pH, but that is not sufficiently repelled by aqueous solutions so as to seek inner positions in the conformation of a peptide in which it is contained when the peptide is in aqueous medium. Genetically encoded polar amino acids include asparagine and glutamine. Non-genetically encoded polar amino acids include citrulline, N-acetyl lysine and methionine sulfoxide. "Small Amino Acid" refers to an amino acid having a side chain which is not sufficiently large to confer significant hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity to the peptide. Small amino acids are those with side chains having four or fewer carbons when the side chain contains at least one polar group, and three or fewer carbons when the side chain does not contain a polar group. Genetically encoded small amino acids include glycine, serine, alanine and threonine. The gene-encoded secondary imino acid proline is also designated as a small amino acid, although it is known to affect the secondary conformation of peptide chains. Non-genetically encoded small amino acids include β-alanine, N-methyl glycine (sarcosine) and α-aminoisobutyric acid. "Cysteine-Like Amino Acid" refers to an amino acid having a side chain capable of participating in a disulfide linkage. Thus, cysteine-like amino acids generally have a side chain containing at least one thiol (SH) group. Genetically encoded cysteine-like amino acids include cysteine. Non-genetically encoded cysteine-like amino acids include homocysteine and penicillamine . As will be appreciated by those having skill in the art, the degree ' of attraction or repulsion required for classification as polar, apolar or small is somewhat arbitrary. For example, while borh serine and threonine contain polar hydroxyl groups these residues are classified as small amino acids, as their side chains do not confer significant overall hydrophilicity to the peptides of the invention. Amino acids not specifically named herein can be readily classified into the above-defined categories on the basis of known behavior as compared with amino acids specifically identified. Certain commonly encountered amino acids which are not genetically encoded of which the peptides of the invention may be composed include, but are not limited to, 3-alanine (b-Ala) and other omega-amino acids such as 3-aminopropionic acid, 2 , 3-diaminopropionic acid (Dpr) , 4-aminobutyric acid and so forth; -aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) ; e-aminohexanoic acid (Aha) ; rS-aminovaleric acid (Ava) ; N-methylglycine or sarcosine (MeGly) ; ornithine (Orn) ; citrulline (Cit) ; t-butylalanine (t-BuA) ; t-butylglycine (t-BuG) ; N-methylisoleucine (Melle) ; phenylglycine (Phg) ; cyclohexylalanme (Cha) ; norleucine (Nle) ; 2-naphthylalanine (2-Nal) ; 4-chlorophenylalanine (Phe(4-Cl) ) ; 2-fluorophenylalanine (Phe(2-F)); 3-fluorophenylalanine (Phe(3-F)); 4-fluorophenylalanine (Phe(4-F)); penicillamine (Pen); 1 , 2 , 3 , 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Tic) ; j3-2-thienylalanine (Thi) ; ethionine sulfoxide (MSO) ; homoarginine (hArg) ; N-acetyl lysine (AcLys) ; 2,3- dia inobutyric acid (DBU) ; 2 , 3-diaminobutyric acid (A 2 BU) ; p-aminophenylalanine (Phe (pNH 2 ) ) ; N-methyl valine (MeVal) ; homocysteine (hCys) and homoserine (hSer) . These amino acids also fall conveniently into the categories defined above. The classifications of the above-described genetically encoded and non-encoded amino acids are summarized in Table 1, below. It is to be understood that Table 1 is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be an exhaustive list of amino acid residues that may comprise the cyclic peptides described herein. Table 1 In the peptides of formula I, the symbol "—" between amino acid residues A n and/or Z n generally designates a backbone interlinkage . Thus, the symbol "—" usually designates an amide linkage (-C(O)-NH). It is to be understood, however, that in all of the cyclic peptides of the invention one or more amide linkages may optionally be replaced with a linkage other than amide. Such linkages include, but are not limited to, -CH 2 NH-, -CH 2 S-, -CH 2 CH 2 , -CH=CH- (cis and trans), -C(0)CH 2 -, -CH(0H)CH 2 - and -CH 2 S0-. Peptides having such linkages and methods for preparing such peptides are well-known in the art (see, e.g., Spatola, 1983, Vega Data 1(3) (general review); Spatola, 1983, "Peptide Backbone Modifications" In : Chemistry and Biochemistry of Amino Acids Peptides and Proteins (Weinstein, ed.), Marcel Dekker , New York, p. 267 (general review); Morley, 1980, Trends Pharm.

As will be discussed in more detail below, in the loop region of the peptide the interlinkage designated by "—" may also be a linker. Typically, a linker is a bifunctional molecule that spaces one amino acid residue from another amino acid residue in the peptide. Such linkers, which may be flexible, semi-rigid or rigid, are well-known in the art and include polypeptides such as poly-Gly and poly-Pro, bifunctional hydrocarbons such as aminocaproic acid, δ- aminovaleric acid and β-alanine, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and the like. Generally, the cyclic peptides of the invention are comprised of about 10 to 30 amino acid residues. As will be described in more detail below, certain amino acids or segments of amino acids may optionally be replaced by peptidomimetic moieties. The cyclic peptides are characterized by three main structural elements or domains: an amphiphilic anti-parallel -sheet region, a β-turn region and a loop region. Referring to FIG. 2, the amphiphilic anti-parallel / 3-sheet region comprises anti-parallel N- and C-strands non-covalently linked together via backbone- backbone hydrogen-bonds. Typically, alternating amino acid residues on each strand participate in interstrand hydrogen- bonds (for a detailed description of the structure of β- sheets the reader is referred to Creighton, 1993, Proteins : Structures and Molecular Properties. W.H. Freeman and Company, New York, and references cited therein). In the peptides of formula I, amino acid residues X 27 -X 28 -Z 1 -X 2 - (X 3 - X 4 ) ! - (X 5 ) n -Z 6 -X 7 -X 8 comprise the N-strand and residues 22 _x 2i ~ Z 20 -X 19 ~ ( χ i 8 ~x i7 ) rrT ( x i6X~ z i5 _x i4 ~x i 3 comprise the C-strand. Each strand is composed of about 3 to 11 amino acids residues, with each strand having the same number of residues. As will be discussed in more detail below, rhe N- and C-strands may optionally be covalently linked via one or two disulfide bridges. The / 3-sheet region of the cyclic peptides described herein is generally amphiphilic, i . e . , one surface of the 3-sheet has a net hydrophobic character and the other surface has a net hydrophilic character. Referring to the /3-sheet structure illustrated in FIG. 2, the side chains of L-amino acid residues ad acent to one another mtrastrand-wise (residues n, n+i, n+2 , etc.) point in opposite directions so as to be positioned on opposite surfaces of the /3-sheet. The side chains of L-ammo acid residues adjacent to one another mterstrand-wise (residues n and c, n+1 and c+1, etc.) point in the same direction so as to be positioned on the same surface of the β-sheet. Using this general structural motif an amphiphilic antiparallel β-sheet is obtained by selecting amino acids at each residue position so as to yield a /3-sheet having hydrophobic side chains positioned on one surface of the sheet and hydrophilic side chains positioned on the other. Of course, it will be appreciated that as the surfaces of the amphiphilic anti-parallel /3-sheet region need only have net hydrophobic or net hydrophilic character, each side chain comprising a particular surface need not be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. The surfaces may contain side chains that do not significantly alter the net character of the surface. For example, both the hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces may contain small amino acid side chains, as these side chains do not significantly contribute to the net character of the surface. In the peptides of formula I the amphiphilic anti- parallel / 3-sheet region preferably has a characteristic pattern of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic ammo acids, such that when X 2 is a hydrophobic ammo acid X 7 , X 1 , X 19 , X 21 and X 28 are each independently a hydrophobic ammo acid or a small ammo acid and X 3 , X 8 , X 13 , X 18 , X 22 and X 27 are each independently a hydrophilic ammo acid or a small ammo acid and when X 2 is a hydrophilic ammo acid X 7 , X 1 , X ιg , X 21 and X 2S are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid and X 3 , X 8 , χ 13 , χ ιg, χ 22 anc x 27 are each independently a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid. Z , Z 6 , Z 15 and Z 20 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid, a small amino acid or a cysteine-like amino acid,. Using this general structural motif one having ordinary skill in the art can easily select amino acid residues within the above-described classifications to obtain an amphiphilic anti-parallel /3-sheet region as defined herein. The / 3-sheet secondary structure illustrated in FIG. 2 is composed entirely of L-amino acids. Those having skill in the art will recognize that substituting an L-amino acid with its corresponding D-enantiomer at a specific residue position may disrupt the structural stability or amphiphilicity of amphiphilic anti-parallel / 3-sheet region. The degree to which any particular enantiomeric substitution disrupts the structural stability or amphiphilicity depends, in part, on the size of the amino acid side chain and position of the residue within the /3-sheet. Preferably, the /3-sheet region of the peptides of formula I will contain mixtures of L- and D-amino acids that do not significantly affect the stability or amphiphilicity of the / 3-sheet region as compared to peptides containing the corresponding all D- or all L-enantiomeric forms of the sheet. Enantiomeric substitutions that do not substantially affect the stability or amphiphilicity of the / 3-sheet region will be readily apparent to those having skill in the art. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, hydrophobic, hydrophilic and cysteine-like amino acids comprising the /3-εheet region are either all L-enantiomers or all D-enantiomers . Small amino acids comprising the /3-sheet region may be either L-enantiomers or D-enantiomers. The β-sheet region of the cyclic peptides of formula I may contain from one to four cysteine-like amino acids. Preferably, when present, cysteine-like amino acids occur in pairs and participate in disulfide linkages or bridges. Accordingly, the cyclic peptides of formula I may be mono- cyclic, bi-cyclic or tri-cyclic. Tri-cyclic peptides of the invention contain two disulfide linkages, bi-cyclic peptides contain one disulfide linkage and mono-cyclic peptides contain no disulfide linkages. While the tri- and bi-cyclic peptides of the invention include all possible permutations of disulfide bond formation, it is preferred that, when present, disulfide linkages are formed between residues Z λ and Z 20 and/or residues Z 6 and Z 15 , respectively. The sulfur atoms involved in an interstrand disulfide bridge in a / 3-sheet are not positioned within the plane defined by the interstrand backbone-backbone hydrogen-bonds; the sulfur atoms are at an angle with respect to the /3-carbons of the bridged amino acid residues so as to be positioned on a surface of the / 3-sheet. Thus, the sulfur atoms of the disulfide linkages contribute to the net hydrophilicity of a surface of the /3-sheet. It is to be understood that in the peptides of formula I a / 3-sheet region defined by the following formula is specifically contemplated to fall within the definition of amphiphilic antiparallel sheet as described herein: |l - X 2 " Z 6 Z 20 -X 19~ Z 15 wherein Z χ , Z 6 , Z 25 and Z 20 are each independently a cysteine- like amino acid; X 2 is a hydrophobic amino acid; X 19 is a hydrophobic or a small amino acid; and || is a disulfide linkage . The /3-turn region of the peptides of formula I (residues X g -X 10 -X 11 -X ;L2 taken together) links the strands of the amphiphilic anti-parallel /3-sheet. The /3-turn region may comprise a peptide /3-turn or a peptidomimetic / 3-turn. Thus, the /3-turn region comprises a peptide or peptidomimetic structure that reverses the direction of the polypeptide chain so as to allow a region of the peptide to adopt an anti-parallel /3-sheet secondary structure. When the β-turn region is a peptide β-turn, the /3-turn region may comprise any four amino acid residue peptide segment known to adopt a /3-turn secondary structure in proteins or peptides. In such structures, the two internal amino acid residues of the turn are usually not involved in the hydrogen-bonding of the anti-parallel / 3-sheet; the two amino acid residues on either side of the internal residues are usually included in the hydrogen-bonding of the / 3-sheet. Referring to FIG. 3, wherein the four amino acid residue positions of the illustrated exemplary peptide β-turns are designated 'X g to X χ , it can be seen that residues X 10 and X λ l are not involved in the hydrogen-bonding of the /3-sheet whereas residues X 9 and X 12 are. The conformations and sequences of many peptide β-turns have been well-described in the art and include, by way of example and not limitation, type-I, type-I', type-II, type-II', type-Ill, type-Ill', type-IV, type-V, type-V , type-VIa, type-VIb, type-VII and type-VIII (see, Richardson, 1981, Adv. Protein Chem. :3_4: 167-339 ; Rose et al . , 1985, Adv. Protein Chem. 37: 1-109; Wilmot et al . , 1988, J. Mol. Biol. 203 : 221-232 ; Sibanda et al . , 1989, J. Mol. Biol. 206:759-777; Tramontano et al . , 1989, Proteins: Struct. Funct. Genet. 6_:382-394). All of these types of peptide β-turn structures and their corresponding sequences, as well as later discovered peptide β-turn structures and sequences, are specifically contemplated by the invention. The specific conformations of short peptide turns such as β-turns depend primarily on the positions of certain amino acid residues in the turn (usually Gly, Asn or Pro) . Generally, the type-I β-turn is compatible with any amino acid residue at positions X g through X 12 > except that Pro cannot occur at position X^. Gly predominates at position X 12 and Pro predominates at position X 10 of both type-I and type-II turns. Asp, Asn, Ser and Cys residues frequently occur at position X 9 , where their side chains often hydrogen- bond to the NH of residue X lχ . In type-II turns, Gly and Asn occur most frequently at position X 1X , as they adopt the required backbone angles most easily. Ideally, type-I' turns have Gly at positions X 10 and X l λ , and type-II' turns have Gly at position X 10 . Type-III turns generally can have most amino acid residues, but type- Ill' turns usually require Gly at positions X 10 and X 11 . Type-VIa and VIb turns generally have a cis peptide bond and Pro as an internal residue. For a review of the different types and sequences of β-turns in proteins and peptides the reader is referred to Wilmot et al . , 1988, J. Mol. Biol. 203 :221-232. Preferred peptide β-turn sequences of the invention include tho'se typically found in the defensin and β-defensin classes of peptides. Such peptide β-turn sequences include, but are not limited to, the following (sequences are listed in the order χ 9 _χ ιo ~x ll ~x l2) • ' Alternatively, the /3-turn region may comprise an organic molecule or moiety that mimics the structure of a peptide β-turn. Such β-turn peptidomimetic moieties, aε well as methods for synthesizing peptides containing such moieties, are well known in art, and include, among others, those described in Giannis and Kolter, 1993, Aqnew. Chem. Intl. Ed. Enq. 32 . : 1244-1267 ; Kahn et al . , 1988, J. Molecular Recognition 1:75-79; and Kahn et al . , 1987, Tetrahedron Lett. 2_8: 1623-1626. Exemplary peptidomimetic β-turn moieties are illustrated in FIG. 4. Like the β-turn region, the loop region of the peptides of formula I (residues χ 23 -x 24 -x 25 ~X 26 taken together) connects the anti-parallel strands of the anti-parallel β-sheet region. The loop region may be comprised of amino acids or peptidomimetic moieties. Typically, the loop region comprises a peptide segment that is two, three or four amino acid residues in length (residues X 24 and X 25 are each independently present or absent). Each amino acid residue X 2 , X 24 , 2 s and X 26 is independently a hydrophilic, a hydrophobic or a small amino acid. Preferably, the loop region comprises a two, three or four amino acid residue reverse-turn sequence. Such reverse-turns are well-known in the art and include, by way of example and not limitation, three amino acid residue γ-turns (Rose et al . , 1985, Adv. Protein Chem. 37:1-109; Wilmer-Whife et al . , 1987, Trends Biochem. Sci. 12:189-192 ; Wil ot et al . , 1988, J. Mol. Biol. 203 :221-232 ; Sibanda et al . , 1989, J. Mol. Biol. 206:759-777 ; Tramontano et al . , 1989, Proteins: Struct. Funct. Genet. 6 : 382-394) and four amino acid residue β-turns, as described above. In addition to the β-turn sequences listed above (SEQ ID NOS : 1-68), preferred amino acid sequences for the loop region of the peptides of the invention include, but are not limited to the following (listed in the order 23 ~ x 24 ~ X 25 ~ ^26 ) GFGE GSGE IAGE LPLE PWSE VSGE YSTE IGGV IPIS IWGV VWGA VWGI VWGV INGV TNGG VNGA VNGV WNMG GPQI VPW VGW LPF RGW WAL VRW VRL Alternatively, the loop region may comprise peptidomimetic moieties that mimic the structures of reverse- turns. Such peptido imetics include, e.g., structures that mimic peptide β-turns, as previously described. As previously mentioned, in the loop region of the peptides of formula I the designation "-" may represent, in addition to a backbone interlinkage, a linker. Such linkers may be useful in situations where amino acid residues comprising _the loop region are under significant conformatidnal strain when connected via an amide bond or where they are relatively far apart, such as when residues X 24 and/ or X 25 are absent. When present, preferred linkers are flexible bifunctional hydrocarbons and ethers such as H0 2 C-(CH 2 ) n -X and H0 2 C- (CH 2 -0-CH 2 ) n -X where X is NH 2 , OH or SH and n is 3, 4 or 5. Other suitable linkers and methods for synthesizing peptides containing such linkers will be apparent to those having skill in the art. The cyclic peptides of the invention are generally basic, i.e., they have a net positive charge at physiological pH. It is understood that in a statistical collection of individual amino acid residues in a structure such as a peptide some of the amino acid residues will be positively charged, some negatively charged and some uncharged. Thus, some of the peptides will have a net charge and some not. To fit the definition of "basic," an excess of amino acids in the peptide molecule are positively charged at physiological pH. In preferred embodiments, at least about 15% to 50% of the amino acid residues comprising the peptides of formula I are basic amino acids. While not intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that the presence of a positively charged amino acid residue in either the β-turn region or loop region of the molecule is important for antimicrobial activity. It is also believed that having a positively charged amino acid residue in either of these regions of the molecule provides the peptides with improved efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Thus, at least one amino acid residue in either the loop region or the β-turn region of the peptide is a basic amino acid residue. In preferred embodiments, both the β-turn region and the loop region contain at least one basic amino acid residue. Of course, it is to be understood that in embodiments containing peptidomimetic moieties in both the β-turn and loop regions of the molecule, either or both of the peptidomimetic moieties will have a net positive charge at physiological pH . Thus, "in one illustrative embodiment, the peptides of formula I are defined as follows: / X 2& -X 27 -X 23 -Z 1 -X 2 -(X 3 -X 4 ) m -( 5 ) n ~Z 6 ~ X 7 _X 8 _X 9\ (I) x 25 χ 10 x 24 x lλ X 23 ~ X 22 ~ X l ~ Z 20 " X 19 ~ ( X 18 ~X 17 ) m~ ( X l & ) n ~ Z 15 _ X 14 ~X 13 -X 12 wherein m=0,l,2 and n=0 , 1 with the proviso that when m=2 , n=0; 2i' x 22' x 24' x 25' X 27 and X 2B are eacn independently present or absent ; X 7 and X 14 are either both present or both absent; X 8 and X 13 are either both present or both absent; 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 , X 7 , Xg , X} , χ i 4 / X 16 ' X 17 ' X 18 ' 19 ' X 21 ' 22 ' x 27 anc x 28 are eac h independently a hydrophobic amino acid, a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid, with the provisos that (i) when X 2 is a hydrophobic amino acid X 7 , X 14 , X 19 , X 21 and X 28 are each independently a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid and X 3 , X 8 , χ ι , x i8 ' x 22 ant ^ X 27 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid; and (ii) when X 2 is a hydrophilic amino acid X 7 , X 14 , χ i 9 , 2 i an< χ 28 re eacn independently a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid and X 3 , X g , X 13 , x i 8 ' x 22 anc x 27 are eac h independently a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid; X 23 , X 24 25 an< ^ x 26 taken together are a loop; Z-, , Z 6 , Z-, 5 and Z 20 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid, a small amino acid or a cysteine-like amino acid; X g , X 10 ' Xl ι anc ^ 12 taken together are a β-turn; at least one of X g , X 10 , X lχ , X 12 , X 23 , X 24 , χ 2 _ or X 26 is a basic amino acid; and wherein the peptide has a net positive charge at physiological pH .

Residues followed with an asterisk (e . g . , R * ) are D-enantiomers. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the peptides of formula I are characterized by a β-εheet region having two disulfide linkages and an odd number of amino acid residues between the cysteine-like amino acids on each strand. Thus, in one preferred embodiment, the cyclic peptides of formula I are characterized by a β-sheet region containing an invariant conformation of two disulfide linkages (between residues ± and Z 20 and residues Z 6 and Z-, 5 , respectively) and a segment of ten amino acid residues (five amino acids per β-sheet strand) between the disulfide linkages. The ten- amino acid segment is characterized by an alternating pattern of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids.

In a final preferred embodiment, the cyclic peptides of formula I are characterized by a β-εheet region containing an invariant conformation of two disulfide linkages (between residues Z 1 and Z 20 and residues Z 6 and Z 15 , respectively) and a segment of two amino acid residues (one amino acid per β-sheet strand) between the disulfide linkages. One of the amino acids- comprising the segment is a hydrophobic amino acid; the other amino acid is a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid. Thus, in this final preferred embodiment the cyclic peptides of the invention have the formula: / ■X 26 X 2 7 X 2 S Z l X 2 Z 6 ~ X 9 \. (IV) 25 X 10 X 24 x 23 x 22 x 21 z 20 x ιg z 15 -x 12 wherein j| designates a disulfide linkage; X 21 , 22 / x 2 4' X 25' X 27 anά - x 28 are eacn independently present or absent; X 9 is a hydrophobic amino acid; X 22 and X 27 are each independently a hydrophilic amino acid or a small amino acid; X I9 , X 2I and X 28 are each independently a hydrophobic amino acid or a small amino acid; X 23 , X 24 , 25 and X 26 taken together are a loop; Z-i , Z 6 , Z 15 and Z 20 are each independently cysteine, homocysteine or penicillamine; X g , X 10 , X 11 and X 12 taken together are a β-turn; at least one of X g , X 10 , X n , X 12 , X 23 , X 24 , X 5 or X 26 is a basic amino acid; and wherein the peptide has a net positive charge at physiological pH.

Residues followed with an asterisk (e.g., R * ) are D-enantiomers. Sequences composed entirely of D-enantiomers are designated "all-D". While not intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that preferred cyclic peptides of formulae II-IV have stable amphiphilic β-sheet structures in solution, thereby effecting antimicrobial activity. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, in the peptides of formulae II-IV amino acid residues comprising the segment of the β-sheet region between the disulfide linkages (residues X 2 , X 3 , X 4 , X 5 , X 16 , i7 , X 18 and X ιg ) are selected so as to avoid juxtaposing large bulky aromatic side chains. While not intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that steric hinderance between adjacent aromatic side chains causes significant destabilization of the β-sheet secondary structure, which results in loss of antimicrobial activity. Thus, in a particularly preferred embodiment, in the peptides of formula II-IV amino acid residues comprising the segment of the β-sheet region between the disulfide linkages which are adjacent to an aromatic residue, either intrastrand-wise or interstrand-wise , are preferably polar or small amino acids. For example, when X 2 -X 3 -X 4 in formula II is W-R-V, preferred sequences for τ9 _ 1 a -x l7 include, by way of example and not limitation, G-A-F, A-S-F, V-S-W, V-K-F, etc. A person of ordinary skill in the art can easily choose particularly preferred sequences for the peptides of formulae II-IV in a similar fashion without undue experimentation. Particularly preferred cyclic peptides of formulae II-IV are as follows: (CYCRRRFCVCVWY) (SEQ ID NO: 151) (CYCRRRFCVCVRL) (SEQ ID NO: 154) ( CYCRRRFCVCVGRWL) (SEQ ID NO: 196) ( CYCRPRFCVCVGRGWL) (SEQ ID NO:205) ( CYCRPRFCVCVGRRGWL) (SEQ ID NO:208) ( CYCRRRFCVCVGRRGGRL) (SEQ ID NO:210) (CYCRJR*RFCVCVRWL) (SEQ ID NO: 221) (CYCRRRFCVCVWL) (SEQ ID NO:240) ( CVCFRRRCYCLWRGV) (SEQ ID NO:241) The sequences are presented from residue Z to X 28 - The prefix "cyclo" indicates that the peptides are cyclic. Residues followed with an asterisk (e.g., R * ) are D-enantiomers . 5.3 Identification of Active Peptides Generally, active cyclic peptides of the invention are identified using in vitro screening assay. Indeed, in many instances the cyclic peptides of the invention will be used in vitro as preservatives, topical antimicrobial treatments, etc. Additionally, despite certain apparent limitations of in vi tro susceptibility tests, clinical data indicate that a good correlation exists between minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) test results and in vivo efficacy of antibiotic compounds (Murray, 1994, Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, Poupard et al . , eds . , Plenum Press, NY; Knudsen et al . , 1995, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother . 9 (6) : 1253-1258) . Thus, cyclic peptideε useful for treating infections and diseases related thereto are also conveniently identified by demonstrated in vitro antimicrobial activity against specified microbial targets. Generally, the in vitro antimicrobial activity of antimicrobial agents is tested using standard NCCLS bacterial inhibition assays, or MIC tests (see, National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards "Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing," NCCLS Document M100-S5 Vol. 14, No. 16, December 1994; "Methods for dilution antimicrobial susceptibility test for bacteria that grow aerobically- Third Edition," Approved Standard M7-A3 , National Committee for Clinical Standards, Villanova, PA). It has been discovered, however, that these standard NCCLS MIC assays ' do not work well for identifying active peptides of the invention. Thus, preferably the compounds are screened using the modified NCCLS MIC assay and other assays provided in the Examples. It will be appreciated that other assays as are well known in the art or that will become apparent to those having skill in the art upon review of this disclosure may also be used to identify active cyclic peptides of the invention. Such assays include, for example, the assay described in Lehrer ec al . , 1988, J. Immunol. Methods 108: 153 and Steinberg and Lehrer, "Designer Assays for Antimicrobial Peptides: Disputing the v One Size Fits All' Theory," In : Antibacterial Peptide Protocols, Shafer, Ed., Humana Press, NJ. Generally, active peptides of the invention will exhibit MICs (as measured using the modified NCCLS assays provided in the Examples) of less than about 64 μg/mL, usually less than about 32 μg/mL, preferably less than about 16 μg/mL and most preferably less than about 4 μg/mL. 5.4 Preparation of the Peptides 5.4.1 Chemical Synthesis The cyclic peptides of the invention may be prepared using virtually any art-known technique for the preparation of cyclic peptides. For example, the peptides may be prepared in linear or non-cyclized form using conventional solution or solid phase peptide syntheses and cyclized using standard chemistries. Preferably, the chemistry used to cyclize the peptide will be sufficiently mild so as to avoid substantially degrading the peptide. Suitable procedures for synthesizing the peptides described herein as well as suitable chemistries for cyclizing the peptides are well known in the art. For references related to synthesis of cyclic peptides the reader is referred to Dong et al . , 1995, J . Am. Chem. Soc. 117 : 2726-2731; Ishida et al . , 1995, J . Orq .

It is to be understood that the chemical linkage used to covalently cyclize the peptides of the invention need not be an amide linkage. Indeed, in many instances it may be desirable to modify the N- and C-termini of the linear or non-cyclized peptide so as to provide, for example, reactive groups that may be cyclized under mild reaction conditions. Such linkages include, by way of example and not limitation amide, ester, thioester, CH 2 -NH, etc. Techniques and reagents for synthesizing peptides having modified termini and chemistries suitable for cyclizing such modified peptides are well-known in the art. Alternatively, in instances where the ends of the peptide are conformationally or otherwise constrained so as to make cyclization difficult, it may be desirable to attach linkers to the N- and/or C-termini to facilitate peptide cyclization. Of course, it will be appreciated that such linkers will bear reactive groups capable of forming covalent bonds with the termini of the peptide. Suitable linkers and chemistries are well-known in the art and include those previously described. As will be readily appreciated by those having skill in the art, since the peptides of the invention are cyclic, the designation, of the N- and C-terminal amino acids is arbitrary. ' Thus, the peptides of the invention can be synthesized in linear or non-cyclized form starting from any amino acid residue. Preferably, the peptides of the invention are synthesized in a manner so as to provide a linear or non-cyclized peptide that, when subjected to cyclization conditions, yields a substantial amount of cyclic peptide. While not intending to be bound by theory, it is believed that cyclizing the peptides of the invention in the loop region or β-turn region is preferable to cyclizing the peptides in the β-sheet region. Because the amino acid residues in the loop and/or turn region readily adopt relatively stable conformations, thereby juxtaposing the N- and C-termini of the amino acids to be covalently cyclized, it is believed that cyclizing such peptides in these regions is entropically favored as compared to cyclizing the peptides in the β-sheet region of the molecule. Thus, in a preferred embodiment the cyclic peptides of the invention are synthesized so as to provide linear or non-cyclized peptides wherein the N- and C-terminal amino acids reside in either the loop region or the β-turn region of the peptide. One of ordinary skill in the art will be able to choose an appropriate cyclization strategy for a particular peptide sequence without undue experimentation. Alternatively, the cyclic peptides of the invention may be prepared by way of segment condensation. The preparation of both linear and cyclic peptides using segment condensation techniques is well-described in the art (see, e.g., Liu et al . , 1996, Tetrahedron Lett. 37(7):933-936; Baca, et al . , 1995, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 117 : 1881-1887 ; Tam et al . , 1995, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 4J5 : 209-216 ; Schnδlzer and Kent, 1992, Science 256: 221-225; Liu and Tam, 1994, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116 (10) :4149-415 ; Liu and Tam, 1994, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 9_1: 6584-6588 ; Yamashiro and Li, 1988, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 21=322-334) . The disulfide linkages in bi-cyclic and tri-cyclic peptides of the invention may be formed before or after cyclizing the peptide. As the disulfide linkages will add stability to the peptide structure, and because the side chain thiol groups are reactive, it is preferable to form the disulfide linkages prior to cyclizing the peptide. Formation of disulfide linkages, if desired, is generally conducted in the presence of mild oxidizing agents. Chemical oxidizing agents may be used, or the compounds may simply be exposed to atmospheric oxygen to effect these linkages. Various methods are known in the art, including those described, for example, by Tam, J.P. et al . , 1979, Synthesis 955-957; Stewart et al . , 1984, Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis , 2d Ed., Pierce Chemical Company Rockford, IL; Ahmed et al . , 1975, J. Biol. Chem. 250:8477-8482 ; and Pennington et al . , 1991 Peptides 1990 164-166, Giralt and Andreu, Eds., ESCOM Leiden, The Netherlands. An additional alternative is described by Kamber et al . , 1980, Helv Chim Acta 62:899-915. A method conducted on solid supports is described by Albericio, 1985, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 2 . 6:92-97. Any of these methods may be used to form disulfide linkages in the peptides of the invention. Preferred methods for effecting diεulfide-bridge formation for the peptides described herein are provided in the examples. 5.4.2 Recombinant Synthesis If the peptide is composed entirely of gene-encoded amino acids, or a portion of it is so composed, the peptide or the relevant portion may also be synthesized using conventional recombinant genetic engineering techniques. The isolated peptides, or segments thereof, are then cyclized or condensed, and optionally oxidized, as previously described, to yield a cyclic peptide. For recombinant production, a polynucleotide sequence encoding a linear or non-cyclized form of the cyclic peptide is inserted into an appropriate expression vehicle, i.e., a vector which contains the necessary elements for the transcription and translation of the inserted coding sequence, or in the case of an RNA viral vector, the necessary elements for replication and translation. The expression -vehicle is then transfected into a suitable target cell which will express the linear form of the cyclic peptide. Depending on the expression system used, the expressed peptide is then isolated by procedures well- established in the art. Methods for recombinant protein and peptide production are well known in the art (see, e . g . , Maniatis et al . , 1989, Molecular Cloning A Laboratory Manual, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, N.Y.; and Auεubel et al . , 1989, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Greene Publishing Associates and Wiley Interscience, N.Y.). A variety of host-expression vector systemε may be utilized to express linear or non-cyclized forms of the cyclic peptides described herein. These include, but are not limited to, microorganisms such as bacteria transformed with recombinant bacteriophage DNA or plasmid DNA expression vectors containing an appropriate coding sequence; yeast or filamentous fungi transformed with recombinant yeast or fungi expression vectors containing an appropriate coding sequence; insect cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e . g . , baculovirus) containing an appropriate coding sequence; plant cell systems infected with recombinant virus expression vectors (e.g., cauliflower mosaic virus or tobacco mosaic virus) or transformed with recombinant plasmid expression vectors (e.g., Ti plasmid) containing an appropriate coding sequence; or animal cell systems. Of course, it will be appreciated that as non-cyclized or linear forms of the peptides of the invention may also be antimicrobial (see , e . g . , U.S.S.N. 03/562,346, filed November 22, 1995, and Attorney Docket No. 22000-20540.26, filed May 17, 1996, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference) , preferably expression hosts are those against which the expressed peptides are not lethal or toxic. The expression elements of the expression systems vary in their strength and specificities. Depending on the host/vector system utilized, any of a number of suitable transcription and translation elements, including constitutive and inducible promoters, may be used in the expression Vector . For example, when cloning in bacterial systems, inducible promoters such as pL of bacteriophage λ, plac, ptrp, ptac (ptrp-lac hybrid promoter) and the like may be used; when cloning in insect cell systems, promoters such as the baculovirus polyhedron promoter may be used; when cloning in plant cell systems, promoters derived from the genome of plant cells (e.g., heat shock promoters; the promoter for the small subunit of RUBISCO; the promoter for the chlorophyll a/b binding protein) or from plant viruses (e.g., the 35S RNA promoter of CaMV; the coat protein promoter of TMV) may be used; when cloning in mammalian cell systems, promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g., metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the adenovirus late promoter; the vaccinia virus 7.5 K promoter) may be used; when generating cell lines that contain multiple copies of expression product, SV40-, BPV- and EBV-based vectors may be used with an appropriate selectable marker. In cases where plant expression vectors are used, the expression of sequences encoding linear or non-cyclized forms of the cyclic peptides of the invention may be driven by any of a number of promoters. For example, viral promoters such as the 35S RNA and 19S RNA promoters of CaMV (Brisson et al . , 1984, Nature 310: 511-514) , or the coat protein promoter of TMV (Takamatsu et al . , 1987, EMBO J. 6:307-311) may be used; alternatively, plant promoters such as the small subunit of RUBISCO (Coruzzi et al . , 1984, EMBO J. 2:1671-1680; Broglie et al . , 1984, Science 224 : 838-843) or heat shock promoters, e . g . , soybean hspl7.5-E or hspl7.3-B (Gurley et al . , 1986, Mol. Cell. Biol. .6:559-565) may be used. These constructs can be introduced into plant cells using Ti plasmids, Ri plasmids, plant virus vectors, direct DNA transformation, microinjection , electroporation , etc. For reviews of such techniques see, e . g . , Weissbach & Weissbach, 1988, Methods for Plant Molecular Biology, Academic Press, NY, Section VIII, pp. 421-463; and Grierson & Corey, 1988, Plant Molecular Biology, 2d Ed., Blackie, London, Ch . 7-9. In one- insect expression system that may be used to produce linear or non-cyclized forms of the peptides of the invention, Autographa californica nuclear polyhidrosis virus (AcNPV) is used as a vector to express the foreign genes. The virus grows in Spodoptera frugiperda cells. A coding sequence may be cloned into non-essential regions (for example the polyhedron gene) of the virus and placed under control of an AcNPV promoter (for example, the polyhedron promoter) . Successful insertion of a coding sequence will result in inactivation of the polyhedron gene and production of non-occluded recombinant virus ( i . e . , virus lacking the proteinaceous coat coded for by the polyhedron gene) . These recombinant viruses are then used to infect Spodoptera frugiperda cells in which the inserted gene is expressed. (e . g . , see Smith et ai . , 1983, J. Virol. 4_6:584; Smith, U.S. Patent No. 4,215,051). Further examples of this expression system may be found in Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Vol. 2, Ausubel et ai . , eds . , Greene Publish. Assoc. & Wiley Interscience. In mammalian host cells, a number of viral based expression systems may be utilized. In cases where an adenovirus is used as an expression vector, a coding sequence may be ligated to an adenovirus tranεcription/translation control complex, e . g . , the late promoter and tripartite leader sequence. This chimeric gene may then be inserted in the adenovirus genome by in vitro or in vivo recombination. Insertion in a non-essential region of the viral genome (e.g., region El or E3) will result in a recombinant virus that is viable and capable of expressing peptide in infected hosts. (e . g . , See Logan & Ξhenk, 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 21:3655-3659). Alternatively, the vaccinia 7.5 K promoter may be used, ( see, e . g . , Mackett et al . , 1982, Proc . Natl. Acad. Sci. (USA) 7,9:7415-7419; Mackett et al . , 1984, J Virol. 11:857-864; Panicali et al . , 1982, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 19:4927-4931) . Other expression systems for producing liner or non- cyclized forms of the cyclic peptides of the invention will be apparent- to those having skill in the art. 5.4.3 Purification of Cyclic Peptides The cyclic peptides of the invention can be purified by art-known techniques such aε hiqh performance liquid chromatography , ion exchange chromatography , gel electrophoresiε, affinity chromatography and the like. The actual conditions used to purify a particular cyclic peptide will depend, in part, on factors such as net charge, hydrophobicity , hydrophilicity , etc., and will be apparent to those having skill in the art. For affinity chromatography purification, any antibody which specifically binds the cyclic peptide may be used. For the production of antibodies, various host animals, including but not limited to rabbits, mice, rats, etc., may be immunized by injection with a cyclic peptide. The peptide may be attached to a suitable carrier, such as BSA, by means of a side chain functional group or linkers attached to a side chain functional group. Various adjuvants may be used to increase the immunological response, depending on the host species, including but not limited to Freund's (complete and incomplete), mineral gels such aε aluminum hydroxide, surface active substances such as lysolecithin, pluronic polyols, polyanionε, peptideε, oil emulεionε, keyhole limpet hemocyanin, dinitrophenol , and potentially useful human adjuvants such as BCG (bacilli Calmette-Guerin) and Corynejacterium parvum . Monoclonal antibodies to a cyclic peptide may be prepared using any technique which provides for the production of antibody molecules by continuous cell lines in culture. These include but are not limited to the hybridoma technique originally described by Koehler and Milstein, 1975, Nature 256 : 495-497 , the human B-cell hybridoma technique, Kosbor et al . , 1983, Immunology Todav 4_:72; Cote et al . , 1983, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80 . : 2026-2030 and the EBV- hybridoma technique (Cole et al . , 1985, Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer Therapy, Alan R. Liss, Inc., pp. 77-96 (1985)). In addition, techniques developed for the production of "chimeric antibodies" (Morrison et al . , 1984, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. ' U.S.A. 8JL: 6851-6855 ; Neuberger et al . , 1984, Nature 312 :604-608; Takeda et al . , 1985, Nature 314:452-454) by splicing the genes from a mouse antibody molecule of appropriate antigen specificity together with genes from a human antibody molecule of appropriate biological activity can be used. Alternatively, techniques described for the production of single chain antibodies (U.S. Patent No. 4,946,778) can be adapted to produce cyclic peptide-specific single chain antibodies. Antibody fragments which contain deletions of specific binding sites may be generated by known techniques. For example, such fragments include but are not limited to F(ab') 2 fragments, which can be produced by pepsin digestion of the antibody molecule and Fab fragments, which can be generated by reducing the disulfide bridges of the F(ab') 2 fragmentε. Alternatively, Fab expression libraries may be constructed (Huse et al . , 1989, Science 246: 1275-1281) to allow rapid and easy identification of monoclonal Fab fragments with the desired specificity for the cyclic peptide of interest. The antibody or antibody fragment specific for the desired cyclic peptide can be attached, for example, to agarose, and the antibody-agarose complex is used in immunochromatography to purify cyclic peptides of the invention.

FORMULATION, ADMINISTRATION AND DOSAGES 6.1 Compositions and Administration The cyclic peptides of the invention can be used in a wide variety of applications to inhibit the growth of or kill microorganisms. For example, the cyclic peptides can be used as disinfectants or as preservatives for materials such aε foodstuffs, cosmeticε, medicaments and other nutrient- containing materials. The cyclic peptides can also be used to treat or prevent diseases related to microbial infection in both plants and animals. For use as a disinfectant or preservative the cyclic peptides can be added to the desired material εingly, as mixtures of several cyclic peptides or in combination with other antimicrobial agents. The cyclic peptides may be supplied aε the peptide per se or may be in admixture with a variety of carriers, diluents or excipients aε are well known in the art . When uεed to treat or prevent infections or diseases related thereto, the cyclic peptides of the invention can be administered or applied singly, as mixtures of cyclic peptides, in combination with other antimicrobial or antibiotic agents or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents. The cyclic peptides can be administered or applied per se or aε pharmaceutical compositions . Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the cyclic peptides of the invention may be manufactured by means of conventional mixing, dissolving, granulating, dragee-making, levigating, emulsifying, encapsulating, entrapping or lyophilizing procesεes. Pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers, diluents, excipients or auxiliaries which facilitate processing of the active peptides into preparations which can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. For topical administration the cyclic peptides of the invention may be formulated as solutions, gels, ointments, creams, suspensions, etc. as are well-known in the art. Systemic formulations include those designed for administration by injection, e.g. subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intrathecal or intraperitoneal injection, as well as those deεigned for transdermal, transmucosal oral or pulmonary administration. For injection, the peptides of the invention may be formulated in aqueous solutions, preferably in physiologically compatible buffers such as Hanks ' s solution, Ringer's solution, or physiological saline buffer. The solution may contain formulatory agents εuch as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the peptide may be in powder form for constitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g., sterile pyrogen- free water, before uεe. For tranεmucoεal adminiεtration, penetrantε appropriate to the barrier to be permeated are used in the formulation. Such penetrantε are generally known in the art. For oral administration, the compounds can be readily formulated by combining the active peptideε with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers well known in the art. Such carrierε enable the compoundε of the invention to be formulated aε tabletε, pills, dragees, capsules, liquids, gels, syrups, slurries, suspenεions and the like, for oral ingestion by a patient to be treated. For oral solid formulations such as, for example, powders, capsules and tablets, suitable excipients include fillers such as sugars, such as lactose, sucroεe, mannitol and sorbitol; cellulose preparations such as maize starch, wheat starch, rice starch, potato starch, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl-cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and/or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) ; granulating agents; and binding agents. If desired, disintegrating agents may be added, such as the cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, agar , or alginic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium alginate. If desired, solid dosage forms may be sugar-coated or enteric-coated using standard techniques. For oral liquid preparations such as, for example, suspensions, elixirs and solutionε, εuitable carrierε, excipientε -or diluentε include water, glycols, oilε, alcohols, etc. Additionally, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like may be added. For buccal administration, the compositions may take the form of tablets, lozenges, etc. formulated in conventional manner. For administration by inhalation, the compounds for use according to the present invention are conveniently delivered in the form of an aerosol spray from pressurized packs or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant, e.g., dichlorodifluoromethane , trichlorofluoromethane , dichlorotetrafluoroethane, carbon dioxide or other suitable gas. In the case of a preεεurized aerosol the dosage unit may be determined by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of e.g. gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. The compounds may also be formulated in rectal or vaginal compositions such as suppositories or retention enemas, e.g, containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides. In addition to the formulations described previouεly, the compounds may also be formulated as a depot preparation. Such long acting formulations may be administered by implantation (for example subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Thus, for example, the compounds may be formulated with suitable polymeric or hydrophobic materials (for example as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or ion exchange resins, or as sparingly soluble derivatives, for example, as a sparingly soluble salt. Alternatively, other pharmaceutical delivery εyεtemε may be employed. Liposomes and emulsions are well known examples of delivery vehicles that may be used to deliver peptides of the invention. Certain organic solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide alεo may be employed, although uεually at the cost of greater toxicity. Additionally, the compounds may be delivered using a sustained-release syεtem, εuch aε semipermeable matrices of solid polymers containing the therapeutic agent. Various of sustained-release materials have been established and are well known by those skilled in the art. Sustained-release capsuleε may, depending on their chemical nature, releaεe the compoundε for a few weeks up to over 100 days. Depending on the chemical nature and the biological stability of the therapeutic reagent, additional strategies for protein stabilization may be employed. As the cyclic peptides of the invention may contain charged side chains, they may be included in any of the above-described formulations as the free bases or as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are those salts which substantially retain the antimicrobial activity of the free baseε and which are prepared by reaction with inorganic acids. Pharmaceutical salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous and other protic solvents than are the corresponding free base forms. 6.2 Effective Dosages The cyclic peptides of the invention, or compositions thereof, will generally be used in an amount effective to achieve the intended purpose. Of course, it is to be understood that the amount used will depend on the particular application. For example, for use as a disinfectant or preservative, an antimicrobially effective amount of a cyclic peptide, or composition thereof, is applied or added to the material to be disinfected or preserved. By antimicrobially effective amount is meant an amount of peptide or composition that inhibits the growth of, or is lethal to, a target microbe population. While the actual antimicrobially effective amount will depend on a particular application, for use as a disinfectant or preservative the cyclic peptides, or compositionε thereof, are uεually added or applied to the material to be disinfected or preserved in relatively low amounts. Typically, the cyclic peptide comprises less than about 5% by weight of the disinfectant solution or material to be preserved, preferably lesε than about 1% by weight and more preferably leεε than about 0.1% by weight. An ordinarily skilled artisan will be able to determine autimicrobially effective amounts of particular peptides for particular applications without undue experimentation using, for example, the in vitro aεεays provided in the examples. For use to treat or prevent microbial infections or diseaεeε related thereto, the peptideε of the invention, or compoεitionε thereof, are adminiεtered or applied in a therapeutically effective amount. By therapeutically effective amount is meant an amount effective ameliorate the symptoms of, or ameliorate, treat or prevent microbial infections or diseases related thereto. Determination of a therapeutically effective amount is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed discloεure provided herein. As in the case of disinfectants and preservatives, for topical administration to treat or prevent bacterial, yeast, fungal or other infections a therapeutically effective dose can be determined using, for example, the in vitro assays provided in the examples. The treatment may be applied while the infection is visible, or even when it is not visible. An ordinarily skilled artisan will be able to determine therapeutically effective amounts to treat topical infections without undue experimentation. For syεtemic administration, a therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from in vitro asεays. For example, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating cyclic peptide concentration range that includes the I 50 as determined in cell culture (i.e., the concentration of test compound that is lethal to 50% of a cell culture), the MIC, as determined in cell culture (i.e., the minimal inhibitory concentration for growth) or the I 10 o as determined in cell culture (i.e., the concentration of peptide that is lethal to 100% of a cell culture) . Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Initial dosages can also be estimated from in vivo data, e . g . , anima models, using techniques that are well known in the art. One having ordinary skill in the art could readily optimize administration to humans based on animal data. Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active peptide which are sufficient to maintain therapeutic effect. Usual patient dosageε for administration by injection range from about 0.1 to 5 mg/kg/day, preferably from about 0.5 to 1 g/kg/day. Therapeutically effective serum levels may be achieved by administering multiple doses each day. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of peptide may not be related to plasma concentration. One having skill in the art will be able to optimize therapeutically effective local dosages without undue experimentation. The amount of peptide administered will, of course, be dependent on the subject being treated, on the subject's weight, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The antimicrobial therapy may be repeated intermittently while infections are detectable or even when they are not detectable. The therapy may be provided alone or in combination with other drugs, such as for example antibiotics or other antimicrobial peptides. 6.3 Toxicity Preferably, a therapeutically effective dose of the peptides described herein will provide therapeutic benefit without causing substantial toxicity. Toxicity of the cyclic peptides described herein can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e . g . , by determining the LD 50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) or the LD 100 (the dose lethal to 100% of the population) . The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effect is the therapeutic index. Compounds which exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. The data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a dosage range that is not- toxic for use in human. The dosage of the peptides described herein lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the effective dose with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See, e . g . , Fingl et al . , 1975, In: The Pharmacological Basiε of Therapeutics , Ch .1 , p .1) . The invention having been described, the following examples are offered by way of illustration and not limitation. 7. EXAMPLE: Peptide Syntheseε The following exampleε provide preferred methods for synthesizing cyclic peptides of the invention.

Cleavage was carried out in 10 mL of thioanisole : EDT : TFA (1:1:9) for 2 hours at room temperature. Crude cleavage product was precipitated with t-butyl methyl ether, filtered and dried. 7.1.2 Formation of Disulfide Linkages - The crude linear peptide was dissolved in DMSO and added 20 mM ammonium acetate, pH 7.

The sequence of the disulfide-bridged peptide was confirmed by masε εpectrometry . 7.1.3 Cyclization of Diεulfide Bridged Peptide Cyclization of the diεulfide bridged peptide was carried out using two different methods. Method A. 224 g purified disulfide-bridged peptide was dissolved in DMF (22 mL) and NaHC0 3 (66 mg) added. The mixture was cooled to 0°C and 36 mL DPPA added (the peptide concentration waε between 1-10 mg/mL and 2-4 equivalents of DPPA were added) . The reaction mixture was εtirred at 4°C for 7 dayε . The formation of cyclized peptide waε determined by analytical HPLC (Vydac C18 , 0.4cm X 25cm, Cat. No. 218TP54) using a linear gradient of 30% to 70% Buffer B (0.08% TFA/70% acetonitrile/H 2 0) over 30 min. at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. (Buffer A was 0.1% TFA/H 2 0) . The formation of cyclized peptide was indicated by a shift in retention time. Starting material eluted at 14.85 min. and cyclized peptide eluted at 20.8 min. HPLC indicated that the conversion yield was about 35%. The reaction mixture was diluted with 400 mL 0.1% (v/v) agueous TFA and the cyclized peptide purified by preparative reverse-phaεe HPLC as described above. Fractions containing the pure cyclized peptide were pooled, the acetonitrile was stripped and the resultant aqueous solution was lyophilized to dryness . The overall yield was about 10-20%. The sequence was confirmed by maεε εpectrometry (MW 1897.8). Method B. 435 mg of pure diεulfide bridged peptide waε dissolved in DMF (40mL) . The mixture was cooled to 0°C and 500 mg (15 equiv.) of DCC and 370 mg (10 equiv.) of HOBT were added. The reaction mixture was εtirred overnight at room temperature. The formation of cyclized peptide was determined by analytical HPLC, as described above. The conversion yield was about 75%. The reaction mixture was diluted with 900 mL 0.1% (v/v) aqueous TFA and the cyclized peptide purified by preparative HPLC as previously described. The overall yield was about 30-45%. The sequence of the cyclized peptide was confirmed by mass spectrometry (MW 1897.8). 7.2 Other Peptideε Cyclo (CYCRRRFCVCVWL) (SEQ ID NO:240), cyclo (CYCRRRFCVCVWY) (SEQ ID N0:151), cyclo (CYCRRRFCVCVGRWL) (SEQ ID NO:196), cyclo (CYCRRRFCVCVGRRGGRL) (SEQ ID NO:210) and cyclo (CYCRRRFCVCVRL) (SEQ ID NO: 154) were synthesized as deεcribed above.

Pasteur pipettes Vacuum pump Filter flask (1 L) Preparation of Microorganism Slantε: Each strain was cultured on TSA. Isolated colonies were transferred into TSB (10 mL in a sterile 50 mL Erlenmeyer flask) using a sterile, disposable loop and the flask incubated at 37 °C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) with shaking (200 RPM) for 16-18 hours. Broth cultures were diluted 1:1 with 20% sterile glycerol and stored aε 1.0 mL aliquotε at -80 °C. For daily inocula, liquid waε tranεferred from a thawed vial uεing a εterile loop and then spread onto the surface of TSA slantε. The screw capped tubes were incubated overnight and stored at 4°C for up to one month. Preparation of Inoculum: 1. Remove the cap from tube and lightly touch a sterile loop to the area of heavy growth on the TSA slant. 2. Inoculate 10 mL of TSB (50 mL flask) and incubate the flask in a εhaking water bath for 18 hourε (overnight) at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeaεt) at 200 RPM. 3. In a cuvette, dilute 50 μL of the overnight culture 1:20 with TSB and measure the absorbance at 600nm (A 600 ) using TSB as a reference. The A 600 of the diluted culture should be between 0.1-0.4. 4. In a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask, dilute 50μL of the overnight culture 1:1000 with TSB (bacteria) or 1:100 with TSB (yeast) . 5. Incubate the flask in a shaking water bath at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) at 200 RPM for approximately 2-3 hours until log-phase is reached, i . e . until the A 600 of the culture is between 0.200 and 0.400 without further dilution. 6. Transfer 25 mL of the log-phase culture to a sterile centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 2000 rpm and 4°C for 10 minutes. Decant the supernatant, add 25 mL of sterile PBS and resuspend the pellet by vortexing. 7. Centrifuge the suspension at 2000 rpm and 4°C for 10 minutes. Decant the supernatant and resuspend the pellet with 5 ml sterile PBS. 8. Measure the A 600 of the undiluted suεpension.

Incubate overnight, count the number of colonies and determine the CFUs/mL (an accurate determination requireε approximately 30-300 colonieε per plate) . For the εtrains reported, the CFUs/mL for a suspension having an A 600 =0.2 have been determined as reported in Table 2, below: TABLE 2 Preparation of Cyclic Peptide Stock Solutions: 1. Weigh approximately 1.0 mg of each cyclic peptide to be tested into a sterile polypropylene cryovial (1.8 mL) . 2- Add sufficient acetic acid (0.01%) to make a stock solution having a concentration of 1280 μg/mL. Dispense the stock solution into several vials, 100 μL per vial, and store the aliquots, tightly sealed, at -80°C. 8.1 Radial Diffusion (MCZ) Assay The MCZ assay uses minimal amounts of test materials to determine the sensitivity of microorganisms to various antimicrobial compounds. Cells are grown to approximately mid-log phase and resuspended in minimal nutrient buffered agarose. Agarose (not agar) is used in this gel to avoid electrostatic interactions between antimicrobial peptides and the polyanionic components of standard agar. Peptides diffuse radially into the gels from small wells and the diameter of the zone of growth inhibition is proportional to the concentration of peptide in the solution (Lehrer et al . , 1988, J. Immunol. Methods 108 : 153) . Preparation of MCZ Assay Plateε: 1. For each petri plate to be poured, dispense 10 mL of tempered (50°C) Agarose Underlay Medium into a sterile polypropylene tube (15 mL) . Add 4xl0 6 CFUs of the desired strain to each tube. Mix well by inverting tube 3 times. Immediately pour the molten agarose into the petri dishes. 2. After the agarose has solidified, use a sterile canula (3 mm i.d.) to punch 16 wells (4x4 evenly spaced grid) into the agarose. Remove the agarose plugs with a pasteur pipette and trap the agarose in a flask with a side arm port attached to a vacuum. 3. From the peptide stock solution, prepare serial 2-fold dilutions (from 128 μg/mL to 0.06 μg/mL) using acetic acid (0.01%) as a diluent, or, for peptide concentrations lower than 50 μg/mL, sodium acetate (10 mM, pH 5) containing Human Serum Albumin (HSA; 0.1% w/v) as a diluent. 4. Dispense 5 μL of each serial dilution into the agarose wells, one serial dilution per well. 5. Dispense diluents into wells as negative controls arid protegrin-1 (U.S. Patent No. 5,464,823; 32 μg/mL, 8 μg/mL and 2 μg/mL) into wells as positive controls. 6. Incubate the plates at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) for 3 hourε. 7. Dispense 2X TSB Agarose Overlay Medium (10 mL) onto the surface of each plate, allow the agar to solidify and incubate plates, inverted, at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) for 16-18 hours. 8. Examine the plates and measure (in mm) the diameter of the zone of growth inhibition (area of clearing around each well) . 9. Plot the diameter of the zone of growth inhibition (Y-axiε) versus the concentration of peptide in the well (X-axis) and obtain the line of best fit using linear regression analysis. The X-intercept of the line of best fit is the minimum concentration for zone of growth inhibition (MCZ) for each peptide concentration. 8.2 Microbroth Dilution (MCB) Asεay The microbroth dilution method accomodateε large numbers of samples and is more amenable to automation than the MCZ assay and the data analysis is direct and εi ple. A key step in this assay is combining microorganisms and peptide in a defined minimal nutrient buffer system that minimizes interference with the peptide 'ε biological activity. In addition, the preεence of 0.1% (w/v) human εerum albumin (HSA) to the peptide diluent inimizeε adεorption of peptide to the container. Preparation of MCB assay plates: 1. Diεpenεe 100 μL of log-phaεe cells in LTM (4xlO CFUs/mL) into each well of a sterile 96-well microtiter plate. 2. From the peptide stock solution, prepare serial two-fold dilutions (from 1280 μg/mL to 0.625 μg/mL) using acetic acid (0.01%) as a diluent, or, for peptide concentrations lower than 50 μg/mL, sodium acetate (10 mM, pH 5) containing Human Serum Albumin (HSA; 0.1%w/v) as a diluent. 3. Dispense triplicate aliquots (11 μL) of each serial two-fold dilution into the wells of the microtiter plate. 4. Incubate the plate at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) for 3 hours. 5. Add 100 μL of 2X TSB to each well, mix, and incubate at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) for an additional 16-18 hours. 6. Examine the plates and evaluate each well for turbidity (cell growth) . Often, MRSA will settle out and form a pellet at the bottom of the well. MRSA can be evaluated by placing the microtiter plate on a stand and examining the bottom of the well using a tilted mirror. 7. The minimum concentration for inhibition of growth in broth medium (MCB) is defined as the lowest concentration of peptide that inhibits all visible growth. If the MCB values for each of the triplicate samples differ, the MCB is obtained by averaging the resultε of the three εamples. 8. The minimum concentration of peptide showing 100% biocidal activity is determined by incubating a 10 μL aliquot from each well on a TSA plate for 24 hours at 37 °C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) (for plating, 1.5 mL TSA in each well of a 24-well plate minimizes cross contamination) . 8.3 Modified NCCLS Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Assay The National Committee for Clinical Standards (NCCLS) requires that test compounds be prepared as stock solutions in Meuller-Hinton Broth ("MHB") at 512 μg/mL. The stock solutions are serially diluted (two-fold) in medium and each serial dilution added 1:1 to medium containing 1x10° CFU/mL bacteria (National Committee on Clinical Laboratory Standards, December 1994, "Performance Standards for Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing," NCCLS Document M100-S5 Vol. 14, No. 16; Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial SusceptibiLity Teεt for Bacteria that Grow Aerobically, 3d Ed., Approved Standard M7-A3 , National Committee for Clinical Standards, Villanova, PA). It has been found that the cyclic peptides of the invention precipitate in MHB at concentrations greater than 128 μg/mL. Thus, following the NCCLS protocol would result in serial two-fold dilutions containing less peptide than calculated, yielding erroneously high MIC values. To overcome this problem, the following modified NCCLS assay is the preferred method for determining MICs of the cyclic peptides of the invention. In the method, precipitation is avoided by preparing concentrated (10X) stock solutions of test peptide in a buffer that is suitable for the peptide and which does not exhibit deleterious effects on the microorganisms (0.01% v/v acetic acid, 0.1% w/v HSA) and diluting the stock 1:10 into MHB containing the microorganisms . Preparation of MIC assay plates: 1. Prepare a fresh overnight culture of teεt organism in Meuller-Hinton broth (MHB; Becton-Dickinson , Cockysville, MD, BB2 #11443) . 2. Dilute the culture to approximately 4xl0 5 CFUs/mL with fresh MHB and dispense 100 μL aliquots into each well of a sterile 96-well microtiter plate. 3. From the peptide stock solution, prepare serial two-fold dilutions (from 1280 μg/mL to 0.625 μg/mL) using acetic acid (0.01%) as a diluent, or, for peptide concentrations lower than 50 μg/mL, sodium acetate (10 mM, pH 5) containing Human Serum Albumin (HSA; 0.1%w/v) as a diluent. 4. Dispense triplicate aliquots (11 μL) of each serial dilution into the wells of the microtiter plate. 5. Incubate the plate for 16-18 hours, without aeration, at 37°C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) . 6. Examine the plates and evaluate each well for turbidity (cell growth) . Often, MRSA will settle out and form a pellet at the bottom of the well. MRSA can be evaluated by placing the microtiter plate on a stand and examining the bottom of the well using a tilted mirror. 7. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is defined as the lowest peptide concentration that inhibits all visible growth. If the MIC values for each of the triplicate samples differ, the MIC is obtained by averaging the reεultε of the three εampleε. 8. The minimum concentration of peptide showing 100% biocidal activity is determined by incubating a 10 μL aliquot from each well on a TSA plate for 24 hours at 37 °C (bacteria) or 30°C (yeast) (for plating, 1.5 mL TSA in each well of a 24-well plate minimizes crosε contamination) . The MIC valueε for protegrin-1 (U.S. Patent No. 5,464,823) against P . aeruginosa , MRSA and VRE (obtained in different diluents) is provided in Table 3, below. TABLE 3 MIC (μg/mL) Values for Protegrin-1 Organism Acetic Acid Sodium Acetate-HSA Diluent Diluent Pseudo.mo.nas aeruginosa 8 1.3 MRSA 13.3 5.3 VRE 2 <0.25 8.4 Kinetic Bactericidal Assay The following assay is used to determine the rate at which a cyclic peptide kills a target microorganism, as well as to determine if a cyclic peptide is bactericidal or bacteriostatic. Assay I. Dispense 200 μL of log-phase cells in LTM (4 x 10 5 CFUs/mL) into each well of a 96-well microtiter plate εolution. 2. At time T=0 inuteε , add 22 μL of 1280 μg/mL peptide to well Al and mix by triturating 3 timeε. 3. Wait 30 seconds and add 22 μL of a second concentration of peptide the to the next well (A2) and mix by triturating 3 timeε. 4. Repeat the process, staggering each peptide addition by 30 seconds, until all concentrations of peptide have been added. Typically, 4-fold serial dilutions of stock peptide (i . e . , 1280, 320, 80, 20 and 5 μg/mL peptide diluted 1:10 into each well) produces good comparative kill curves. Add 22 μL of 0.01% acetic acid to one well as a control. 5. At time T=15 minutes, mix well Al by triturating 3 times and transfer 20 μL to an empty sterile petri dish (100 mm x 15 mm) . 6. Quickly add 20 mL of tempered (50°C) TSA and gently swirl plate to mix. 7. Repeat steps 5-6 until all peptide concentrations have been plated. 8. For the control well, dilute the sample 1:100 with LTM and plate 50 μL of the dilution to obtain an accurate determinations of CFUs . 9. After the agar has solidified, invert the plates and incubate at 37 °C (bacteria) 30°C (yeast) for 18-24 hours . 10. Repeat steps 5-9 for all peptide concentrations and control samples at times T=30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes. II. Count the number of CFUs per plate and estimate the reduction in CFUs for each peptide concentration. In order to assess an effect using thiε assay, the peptide must reduce the CFUε by at least one log (i.e., at least 800 CFUs per plate). Although such numbers are higher than recommended for accuracy (30-300 CFUε/plate) , log-order changes in recoverable CFUs indicate signif icant bacteriocidal eff icacy . 12 . To obtain comparative kill curves , plot the log of fractional εurvival verεuε peptide concentration . 8 . 5 Results The results obtained from the above-described assays for exemplary cyclic peptides of the invention are set f orth in Table 4 , below .
