1. A method of producing a peptide compound, wherein the peptide compound is composed of natural amino acids and/or amino acid analogs, and wherein the peptide compound comprises a cyclic portion consisting of 4 to 14 natural amino acid and/or amino acid analog residues,
wherein the amino acid analog is a hydroxycarboxylic acid or an amino acid represented by the following formula: X-A-C(═O)—OH,
wherein:
X is —NH2 or —NHRN;
A is —C(R1)(R2)—, —C(R1)(R2)—C(R3)(R4)—, or —C(R1)(R2)—C(R3)(R4)—C(R5)(R6)—, wherein the carbon atom attached to R1 and R2 is bonded to X;
RN is an alkyl, an alkenyl, an alkynyl, an aryl, a heteroaryl, an aralkyl, or a cycloalkyl, each of which is optionally substituted;
R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an optional substituted group selected from an alkyl, an alkenyl, an alkynyl, an aryl, a heteroaryl, an aralkyl, or a cycloalkyl;
or RN and R1 together represent a carbon chain bonded to the N atom and the carbon atom at the α position thereby forming a ring;
provided that the amino acid analog is not a natural amino acid,
the method comprises a cyclization reaction step of cyclizing a cyclization precursor of the peptide compound in at least one continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR).
