Cyclopeptides isolated from a variety of plants are a class of cyclic nitrogen-containing compounds,and they are primarily formed by peptide bonds between amino acids,generally containing 2 to 37 L-configuration encoded or non-encoded amino acid residues.Cyclopeptides have significant values in scientific research as natural small-molecule metabolites produced by plants.The available studies have revealed that such natural products are ubiquitous in plants,which mainly include cyclic dipeptides,cyclic tetrapeptides,cyclic pentapeptides,cyclic hexapeptides,cyclic heptapeptides,cyclic octapeptides,cyclic nonapeptides,and cyclic decapeptides.Among them,cyclic dipeptides,cyclic hexapeptides,and cyclic octapeptides are the major active compounds.It has been reported that plant cyclopeptides have novel and unique chemical structures.They possess diverse pharmacological activities,such as antineoplastic,antimicrobial,antimalarial,anti-inflammatory,and antiviral activities.This paper summarizes the research achievements of plant cyclopeptides since 2006,aiming to provide theoretical reference for the research and application of plant cyclopeptides in medicine,health,and agriculture fields.
