Activity profiles of the cyclotides differed significantly from those of antitumor drugs in clinical use, which may indicate a new mode of action in cytotoxic activities of naturally occurring macrocyclic peptides isolated from the two violets.

It is predicted that the number of cyclotide within the Rubiaceae may exceed tens of thousands, potentially making cyclotides one of the largest protein families in the plant kingdom.
Microcin J25 has a threaded sidechain-to-backbone ring structure and not a head-to-tail cyclized backbone.

It is shown here that in fact the peptide does not have a head-to-tail cyclic structure but rather a side chain to backbone cyclization between Glu8 and the N-terminus, which creates an embedded ring that is threaded by the C-terminal tail of the molecule, forming a noose-like feature.

A systematic test of mixtures of cyclotides revealed that they act in an additive way, and found that while the Glu residue is very important in maintaining the activity of the bracelet cyclotide cycloviolacin O2, it is much less important in the Möbius cyclotide.
