The first synthesis and osteoblast proliferative activity of the naturally occurring cyclic peptides dianthins G and H is described. The greater potency of naturally occurring dianthin G over dianthin H at physiological concentrations mirrored the osteoblast proliferative activity observed for synthetic dianthins G and H. Six alanine-scan analogues of the more potent dianthin G were also synthesised and osteoblast assays revealed that four of the six residues can be further modified for improved activity. We also confirmed by variable temperature H-1 NMR spectroscopic analysis that the sets of major and minor signals observed for dianthins G and H in DMSO-d(6) are in fact due to cis-trans rotational isomers of the praline ring.
