Cover illustration: Crystals of the dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvate of [1-9-NC]-linusorb B3 (Cyclolinopeptide A; CLP-A; C57H84N9O9·C2H6OS), a cyclic polypeptide were obtained following peptide extraction and purification from flaxseed oil. The cyclic polypeptide or orbitide has nine amino acids (Ile1-Leu2-Val3-Pro4-Pro5-Phe6-Phe7-Leu8-Ile9). The compound has been shown to induce potentially beneficial responses in living organisms. It has demonstrating cytoprotective activity in liver cells by inhibiting cholate uptake and has been shown to have immunosuppressive activity, and no toxicity at high doses.
