Cyclic peptides. XXVI. Synthesis of AM-toxin II analogs by cyclization through ester bond formation.

In order to explore the route for the preparation of cyclodepsipeptide by cyclization through an ester bond formation, two analogs of AM-toxin II, cyclotetradepsipeptide, were synthesized. As a preliminary experiment, synthesis of [L-Phe3, L-Ser(Bzl)4]-AM-toxin II, containing L-Phe and L-Ser(Bzl) in place of L-App (2-amino-5-phenyl-pentanoic acid) and delta Ala (alpha, beta-dehydroalanine), respectively, was attempted. Cyclization of H-L-Hmb-L-Phe-L-Ser(Bzl)-L-Ala-OH in CH2Cl2 at 10 mM concentration using water-soluble carbodiimide (EDC) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) successfully gave a cyclic monomer in 16% yield. Cyclization of H-L-Hmb-L-App-L-Ser(Bzl)-L-Ala-OH under the same conditions also afforded a cyclic monomer, [L-Ser(Bzl)4]AM-toxin II, in 19% yield. Analytical parameters of these cyclic monomers obtained were identical to those of the authentic samples obtained by cyclization through a peptide bond formation.
