Based on the former research, two [D-Phe 2] 2AMD analogs with L-MeVal(the fifth amino acid residue in the cyclic depsipeptide of AMD) substituted by D-MeVal and D-MePhe were designed to reduce the toxicity and increase the antitumor activity. Another analog in which the D-Val residue replaced with D-MeVal was designed to eliminate or to weaken the hydrogen bonds of D-Val residues between α and β rings. All three novel compounds were prepared from C terminal to N terminal in solution phase to form linear pentapeptides, and cyclized by BOP-Cl/Et 3N in DCM. Condensation of pentapeptide lactone with BMNBCA, followed by catalytic reduction, controlling oxidation by K 3Fe(CN) 6 and purification afforded the analogs as red solid. The spectrum data of all three analogs including HR-MS, 1H NMR and [α] D were given.展开更多
