Crystals of the title compound, C(57)H(85)N(9)O(9)·CH(4)O, the methanol solvate of a nine peptide polypeptide, cyclo-(Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe-Leu-Ile-Ile-Leu-Val), were obtained after separation of the cyclic peptide from flax oil. The cyclo-linopeptide A (CLP-A) mol-ecules are linked in chains along the a axis by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Each methanol O atom is hydrogen bonded to one O atom and two N-H groups in the same CLP-A mol-ecule. There are a total of eight hydrogen bonds in each CLP-A-MeOH unit.
