Described are the syntheses of nine Sansalvamide A derivatives using new, high-yielding, in situ deprotection–cyclization conditions that are general for this series of macrocycles, 55% average for both steps. This is 10-fold greater than previously reported yields.

were made using a succinct convergent synthesis. These analogues share no structural homology to current cancer drugs, are cytotoxic at levels on par with existing drugs treating cancers, and demonstrate selectivity for drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cell lines over noncancerous cell lines. These molecules are excellent chemotherapeutic leads in the search for new anticancer agents.

We report the synthesis of 34 second-generation Sansalvamide A derivatives. San A derivatives have unique anticancer properties and target multiple cancers, including colon, pancreatic, breast, prostate, and melanoma. As novel templates, the derivatives described herein explore the role of stereochemistry, amide bond geometry, transannular hydrogen bonding, and polarity on antitumor potency. Testing the chemotherapeutic activity of these derivatives against multiple cancer cell lines will provide clear structural motifs and identify conformational space that is important for cytotoxicity. The 34 compounds presented are divided into six series, where five series involve the insertion of D-amino acids in conjunction with four structural features at each of the five positions of the macrocycle. The sixth series involves comparison between all L- and all D-amino acid derivatives with N-methyls placed at each position around the macrocyclic core. The four structural features explored in conjunction with D-amino acids include N-methyl amino acids, aromatic amino acids, polar amino acids, and hydrophobic alkyl amino acids.

We report an extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) of 62 compounds active against two drug-resistant colon cancer cell lines. Our comprehensive evaluation of two generations of compounds utilizes SAR, NMR, and molecular modeling to evaluate the key 3D features of potent compounds. Of the seven most potent compounds reported here, five are second-generation, emphasizing our ability to incorporate potent features found in the first generation and utilize their structures to design potency into the second generation. These analogs share no structural homology to current colon cancer drugs, are cytotoxic at levels on par with existing drugs treating other cancers, and demonstrate selectivity for drug-resistant colon cancer cell lines over noncancerous cell lines. Thus, we have established sansalvamide A as an excellent lead for treating, multiple drug-resistant colon cancers.
