Abstract
A new bicyclic hexapeptide, neo-RA-VII (3), incorporating a 12-membered cyclodityrosine structure, and a new cyclic hexapeptide, cyclorubipeptide A (4), were isolated from the roots of Rubia cordifolia L. Their structures were elucidated through the interpretation of spectroscopic data. The structure of 3 was confirmed through total synthesis and that of 4 through chemical correlation with O-seco-RA-V (14). The cyclodityrosine unit in compound 3 was synthesized via an intramolecular Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of a dipeptide bearing an iodine atom and a boronic acid group on each aryl ring. Peptides 3 and 4 exhibited cytotoxic activity, with IC50 values of 5.1 and 4.3 μM against HL-60 cells and 17 and 15 μM against HCT-116 cells, respectively.
期刊介绍:
Tetrahedron publishes full accounts of research having outstanding significance in the broad field of organic chemistry and its related disciplines, such as organic materials and bio-organic chemistry.
Regular papers in Tetrahedron are expected to represent detailed accounts of an original study having substantially greater scope and details than that found in a communication, as published in Tetrahedron Letters.
Tetrahedron also publishes thematic collections of papers as special issues and ''Reports'', commissioned in-depth reviews providing a comprehensive overview of a research area.
