Coupling of the Linker to the Cyclic Peptide. The linker (1 equiv.) was activated with O-(7-azaben-
zotriazol-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), 1-hydroxy-7-azabenzotriazol
(HOAt) and 10 equiv. of syn-collidine in DMF. After 2 h, 1 equiv. of cyclic peptide was added. After
another 24 h, the peptide was precipitated in H2O. Deprotection and purification by HPLC (Amersham
Pharmacia, YMC-RP, 40 mm250 mm, C18; 8 ml/min; eluent A H2O (0.1% CF3COOH), eluent B
MeCN (0.1% CF3COOH), 220-nm UV detector) led to compounds 6, 7, and 8.
Cyclo(-RGDyK-)-Ahx-Ahx-Acryloyl (6). ESI-MS: 451.1 [(M+2 H)/2]+; 900.6 [M+H]+.
Cyclo(-RGDyK-)-Ahx-Ahx-Ahx-Pent-4-enoyl (7). ESI-MS: 521.8 ([(M+2 H)/2]+), 1041.8
([M+H]+), 1063.8 ([M+Na]+), 1079.8 ([M+K]+).
Cyclo(-RGDyK-)-Ahx-Ahx-Ahx-K-(K-PPA2)2 (8). ESI-MS: 942.9 ([(MÀ2 H)/2]À); 954.8 ([(MÀ3
H+Na)/2]À), 1885.9 ([MÀH]À), 1909.9 ([MÀ2 H+Na]À).
Labeling with 125I. The peptide (300 mg) was dissolved in 150 ml of PBS in an Eppendorf cap coated
with 150 mg of IodoGenꢁ. 1.32 mCi 125I as Na125I in 0.05M NaOH were added. After 30 min, the labeled
compound was separated by HPLC.
H-K(ivDde)R(Pbf)GD(OtBu)y{I}-OH (12). The peptide was obtained also by SPPS on the TCP
resin [8] according to the Fmoc strategy [9]. The resin was loaded with Fmoc-D-Tyr{I}-OH. Subsequently,
Fmoc-Asp(OtBu), Fmoc-Gly-OH, Fmoc-Arg(Pbf)-OH, and Fmoc-Lys(ivDde)-OH were coupled with
TBTU, HOBt in twofold excess and EtN(i-Pr)2 as base and NMP as solvent. The Fmoc deprotection
between the couplings and at the end of the sequence was accomplished with 20% piperidine in NMP.
The peptide was cleaved from the resin by treatment with AcOH/2,2,2-trifluoroethanol/CH2Cl2 3 :1:6.

ESI-MS: 888.4 ([MÀ Bu+H]+), 944.3 ([M+H]+), 984.3 ([M+Na]+).
Cyclo(-R(Pbf)GD(OtBu)y(tBu)K-) (13). Cyclization was performed in DMF at a concentration of
5 mM with 1 equiv. of [(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)oxy]tris(pyrrolidino-1-yl-phosphonium) hexafluorophos-
phate (PyBOP) and 10 equiv. syn-collidine as base. After 24 h, the solvent was removed under reduced
pressure, and the peptide was precipitated in H2O. The ivDde group was removed by treatment with 2%
t
hydrazine in DMF. ESI-MS: 998.3 ([MÀ Bu+2 H]+), 1054.3 ([M+H]+).
Cyclo(-RGDy{I}K-)-Ahx-Ahx-Acryloyl (9C). ESI-MS: 514.0 [(M+2 H)/2]+; 1026.5 [M+H]+;
1048.5 [M+Na]+.
Cyclo(-RGDy{I}K-)-Ahx-Ahx-Ahx-Pent-4-enoyl (10C). ESI-MS: 584.7 ([(M+2 H)/2]+), 1167.6
([M+H]+).
Cyclo(-RGDy{I}K-)-Ahx-Ahx-Ahx-K-(K-PPA2)2 (11C). ESI-MS: 1005.6 ([(MÀ2 H)/2]À).
Surface coating was performed as described in [4a,c,e].
