Because of their unique ring structure and diverse biological activities, nanocyclic peptides have become important tools in drug development, diagnosis and treatment. Our advanced technology platforms and dedicated teams enable our customers to achieve breakthroughs in research and development.
As a highly specialized compound collection, the core of nanocyclic peptide library is to contain a wide variety of cyclic nanoscale peptide chains. These unique molecular entities exhibit excellent bioactivity characteristics and physicochemical properties through their distinctive spatial configurations and complex interactions between molecules. As a result, they are the target of choice for nanotechnology, drug delivery systems, precision biosensing technologies, and other cutting-edge biomedical engineering fields, optimized and screened to meet the needs of these higher-order applications. Cyclic peptides, thanks to their strong ring structure and flexible biological effects, have emerged in the broad field of nanoscience research and become the focus. Each individual member of this sophisticated cyclic peptide library has the potential to carry unique physicochemical properties and highly specific biometrics, such as the ability to bind specifically to cell membrane receptors, facilitate the entry of nanoparticles into the cell interior, or act as the basic building block of primary responsive nanomaterials.
Remarkable advantages of nanocyclic peptide libraries
Structural diversity advantage
The library contains a large number of cyclic peptide molecules with varied structures. They are arranged and combined by different amino acid sequences to construct a variety of cyclic structures, which fully adapt to the diversity requirements in the complex needs of biometrics, intermolecular interactions and nanoassembly.
High stability and durability
Compared to linear peptide chains, ring-shaped peptide bodies are structurally more stable and resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis, thus ensuring the long-term survival of nanocyclic peptides in the physiological environment, which is critical for achieving long-term results in biomedical operations such as drug delivery.
Flexibility of function adjustment
By finely designing the amino acid sequence of cyclic peptides, scientists can effectively manipulate key properties such as hydrophobicity, charge distribution, and even secondary structure (such as α-helix and β-folding) to precisely direct how they interact with biomolecules at the molecular level, their ability to pass through cell membranes, and their assembly behavior at the nanoscale.
Precise customization for targeting
Some cyclic peptides can accurately recognize and bind to specific receptors or biomarkers on the cell surface, and this targeting mechanism greatly improves their potential as drug carriers or the construction of efficient biosensors, enhancing the precision and efficiency of therapeutic measures.
The potential for self-assembly is limitless
Many cyclic peptide molecules have demonstrated their ability to self-assemble into complex ultrastructures such as nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanoparticles, and these self-assemblies have shown their irreplaceable application value in the fields of drug packaging, complex tissue engineering construction, and nanoscale reactor design.
Biocompatibility and low toxicity guarantee
Nanocyclic peptides usually exhibit excellent biocompatibility, and their small size and precise synthesis strategies greatly reduce adverse effects on organisms, making them ideal candidates for in vivo applications.
Efficient and convenient design and simulation
Using advanced computer-aided design tools and molecular dynamics simulation techniques, researchers can quickly predict and optimize the structure and function of cyclic peptides, greatly accelerating the exploration and improvement process of novel cyclic peptide molecules, and opening up a broader way of innovation in the field of nanobiotechnology.
The wide application of nanocycle peptide library
A central role in the field of drug development
As a powerful resource for drug development and protein-protein interaction (PPI) research, nanocyclic peptide libraries are gradually showing their incomparable value. For example, the cysteine-targeting covalent fragment Library launched by the MCE International Station includes 3,108 unique fragment compounds, each equipped with covalent warheads specifically for different cysteine residues, including 84 carefully selected cyclic peptides, which are especially suitable for high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-content screening (HCS). It provides an efficient way for rapid identification of potential drug leads.

Innovation in drug delivery systems
Cyclopeptide-modified polymer nanoparticles, such as PCL-PEG-cRGD, significantly improve the loading efficiency of hydrophobic drugs through exquisite molecular design, not only enhance the distribution and targeting of drugs in vivo, but also effectively reduce non-specific damage to normal tissues, marking a major advance in drug delivery systems.
Frontier exploration of tumor targeted therapy
Taking c(RGDfk) cyclic peptide as an example, by specifically binding to αvβ3 integrin receptors on the surface of tumor neovasculators, it provides "precise navigation" for drugs or nanocarriers directly to tumor lesions, greatly improving the accuracy and efficacy of treatment, and bringing innovation to tumor treatment strategies.
New dimensions of nanomaterials synthesis
With its unique structural properties, cyclic peptides have become an ideal building block for the synthesis of nanomaterials with special morphology and function, such as cyclic peptide nanotubes. These new nanomaterials have shown broad application prospects in many fields such as drug delivery and biological imaging, and have promoted the in-depth development of nanotechnology.
