The cyclopropyl C-C bond has the larger torsional energy than usual ones, which means the conformation near cycloprpyl is more rigid, and not too easily be changed. 　　For cycloalkanes, the results of conformational analysis indicate that the simultaneous torsions of several dihedral angles can move the arrangement of carbon atoms in cycloalkanes. Despite the variation is not so apparent, the C-H bonds oscillate for the torsion of C-C bond. Those cyclopropyl cycloalkanes can fasten the local conformation of cycloalkanes, so that the oscillating angles of C-H bonds near cyclopropyl would be smaller. 　　From the conformation analysis of medicines, the flapping range of the side chain and functional groups in the medical cyclopropyl compounds would reduce largely because of the rigid cyclopropyl local conformation. Compared with the large flap of other conformations' medical side chain and functional groups, those which get cyclopropyl conformations in them are the medical compounds whose side chain and functional groups react with the active center much possibly. We think this is the main reason which results the difference of activities of medicines.
