Approaches for the Synthesis of Functionalized Cryptophycins
摘要:
The first syntheses of bioactive cryptophycins functionalized at unit ID were accomplished ina one-pot Staudinger reduction/cyclization step An a/ado precursor for the lower part of the backbone was introduced to minimize protective group chemistry and enable a very convenient synthesis of cryptophycin-52 and unit D eryptophycin analogues containing an ester or a free carboxylic acid for bioconjugations Both new cryptophycin derivatives show high biological activity in cytotoxicity assays

Without affecting the overall 3D structure, amide‐to‐ester backbone substitution (or ester scan) exerts a pronounced influence on the conformational equilibrium of the RGD cyclopeptide cilengitide and its derivatives (see figure; RGD=Arg‐Gly‐Asp). The appropriate substitution, which stabilized the receptor‐complementary conformations, improved the biological activity of this integrin antagonist.
