RHM1 (1) and RHM2 (2) are highly N-methylated linear octapeptides produced by an atypical strain of Acremonium sp., cultured from a marine sponge collected in Papua New Guinea. The known peptaibiotic efrapeptin G (3) was also isolated from this fungus. The planar structures of 1 and 2 were assigned based on 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments and fragmentation patterns from ESIMS. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined via Marfey's method; the absolute configuration of 2 is proposed to be identical. Efrapeptin G (3) displayed potent cytotoxicity against murine cancer cell lines, while RHM1 (1) and RHM2 (2) showed weak cytotoxicity against murine cancer cell lines; efrapeptin G (3) and RHM1 (1) also demonstrated antibacterial activity.

By carrying out structural modifications based on the bicyclic peptide structure of echinomycin, we successfully synthesized various powerful antitumor derivatives. The ring conformation in the obtained compounds was restricted by cross-linking with an unnatural bond. The prepared derivatives were demonstrated to strongly suppress the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1 transcriptional activation and hypoxia induction of HIF-1 protein expression. Particularly, alkene-bridged derivative 12 exhibited remarkably potent cytotoxicity (IC50 = 0.22 nM on the MCF-7 cell line) and HIF-1 inhibition (IC50 = 0.09 nM), which considerably exceeded those of echinomycin. Conformational analyses and molecular modeling studies revealed that the biological activities were enhanced following restriction of the conformation by cross-linking through a metabolically stable and rigid bridge bond. In addition, we proposed a new globular conformation stabilized by intramolecular πstacking that can contribute to the biological effects of bicyclic depsipeptides. The developments presented in the current study serve as a useful guide to expand the chemical space of peptides in drug discovery.

Total synthesis of modified pentapeptide, caldoramide, a cytotoxic linear pentapeptide from the marine cyanobacterium Caldora penicillate is described. Notable features of the route include the efficient preparation of three key fragments and final assemb

The stereoselective synthesis of the southern fragment (C21-C41) of Hantupeptin A is described. The required stereochemistry of β-hydroxy-α-methyl acid unit was accomplished through the Aldol reaction using Evan's chiral auxiliary followed by the installation of the terminal alkyne with Ohira-Bestmann reagent.
