Abstract

The structures of O-acetyl-(4R)-4-(E-2-butyl)-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (1) and O-acetyl-(4R)-4-[E-2-(4-bromobutyl)]-4,N-dimethyl-L-threonyl-cyclosporin A (2) were determined by X-ray diffraction methods and compared with the structure of related cyclosporins. In contrast to expectation, neither the acetylation nor the subsequent bromination of 1 affects the conformation and packing of cyclosporins in the solid state. Both compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with a = 12.936(2) Å, b = 15.590(2) Å, c = 36.280(3) Å, and a = 12.916(3) Å, b = 15.675(4) Å, c = 36.715(7) Å, for 1 and 2, respectively.
