Described herein are synthetic cyclic peptide mimetic s comprising alternating D-amino acids and L-amino acids and amino acid derivatives, such as aza-amino acids and azasulfuryl- amino acids. Optionally, the cyclic peptide mimetic s may be conjugated to another agent via a linker to form cyclic peptide mimetic conjugates. The cyclic peptide mimetic s described herein may be used as diagnostic or therapeutic agents for diagnosis or treatment of amyloidogenic diseases.
