The present study describes the synthesis and biological studies of a small series of head-to-tail cyclic tetrapeptides of the general structure c(Lys-ß2,2 -Xaa-Lys) containing one lipophilic ß2,2 -amino acid and Lys, Gly, Ala, or Phe as the Xaa residue in the sequence. The peptides were investigated for antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative reference strains and 30 multiresistant clinical isolates including strains with extended spectrum ß-lactamase-carbapenemase (ESBL-CARBA) production. Toxicity was determined against human red blood cells. The most potent peptides showed high activity against the gram-positive clinical isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 4-8 µg/mL and low haemolytic activity. The combination of high antimicrobial activity and low toxicity shows that these cyclic tetrapeptides containing lipophilic ß2,2 -amino acids form a valuable scaffold for designing novel antimicrobial agents.
