Insights into the Biosynthetic Origin of 3-(3-Furyl)alanine in Stachylidium sp. 293 K04 Tetrapeptides
摘要:
The marine-sponge-derived fungus Stachylidium sp. 293 K04 produces the N-methylated peptides endolide A (1) and endolide B (2), showing affinity for the vasopressin receptor 1A and serotonin receptor 5HT(2B), respectively. Both peptides feature the rare amino acid 3-(3-furyl)alanine. Isotope labeling experiments, employing several C-13-enriched precursors, revealed that this unprecedented heterocyclic amino acid moiety in endolide A (1) is synthesized from a cyclic intermediate of the shikimate pathway, but not from phenylalanine. Two new tetrapeptide analogues, endolides C and D (3 and 4), were characterized, as well as the previously described hirsutide (5).
Toward the synthesis and biological evaluation of hirsutide
摘要:
The present investigation deals with the synthesis of a N-methylated cyclotetrapeptide, hirsutide (2), by coupling of the dipeptide units Boc-L-phenylalanyl-L-N-methylphenylalanine-OH and L-valyl-L-N-methylphenylalanine-OMe followed by cyclization of the linear tetrapeptide fragment. The chemical structure was established on the basis of analytical as well as spectroscopic data. The newly synthesized cyclic peptide was subjected to pharmacological screening and found to be highly potent against the gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae at 6 mu g cm(-3). In addition, potent antihelmintic activity against the earthworms Megascoplex konkanensis and Pontoscotex corethruses at 1 and 2 mg cm(-3), and potent cytotoxic activity against Dalton's lymphoma ascites and Ehrlich's ascites carcinoma cell lines with IC50 values of 14 and 22 mu M were also observed. Studies revealed that the pentafluorophenyl ester method employing a catalytic amount of N-methylmorpholine proved to be better for cyclization of the linear tetrapeptide unit.
