The present inventors found cyclic peptide compounds that interact with Ras, and non-natural amino acids useful for the production of the cyclic peptide compounds. The inventors also found that the cyclic peptide compounds inhibit the binding between Ras and SOS. In addition, the inventors found specific non-natural amino acids contained in the cyclic peptide compounds and methods for production thereof.
