Reniochalistatin E (1) is one of the five related cyclic peptides isolated from the marine sponge Reniochalina stalagmitis. The discovery of these compounds resulted from a screening program directed toward the identification of proline-rich bioactive compounds. Reniochalistatin E is the only member of the family to possess a tryptophan amino acid residue. Given the cytotoxicity observed for 1, efforts were directed toward developing a synthetic route to 1. The first total synthesis of 1 has been accomplished in a 15-step route in an overall 5.0% yield. The synthetic sample of reniochalistatin E was shown to have similar activity toward HeLa and RPMI-8226 cell lines compared to the natural sample, with IC50 values of 16.9 vs 17.3 μM and 4.5 vs 4.9 μM, respectively. Interestingly, both of the fully deprotected octapeptides constructed toward the synthesis of reniochalistatin E were shown to have cytotoxicity. The route provides a means to probe the structure-activity relationship of 1 and further biological investigations.

Two biologically active cyclic peptides, Yunnanin F 8 and Hymenistatin 16 were synthesized and the structures were established on the basis of analytical, IR, NMR and mass spectral data. The newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobia

Dipeptides (DP) namely phenylalanyl-proline (Phe-Pro), isoleucyl-proline (Ile-Pro), and leucyl-proline (Leu-Pro) were synthesized by classical solution method and characterized. The kinetics of oxidation of these DP by Mn(III) have been studied in the presence of sulphate ions in acidic medium at 26°C. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically at λmax = 500 nm. A first-order dependence of rate on both [Mn(III)]0 and [DP]0 was observed. The rate is independent of the concentration of reduction product, Mn(II), and hydrogen ions. The effects of varying dielectric constant of the medium and addition of anions such as sulphate, chloride, and perchlorate were studied. The activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring plots. The oxidation products were isolated and characterized. A mechanism involving the reaction of DP with Mn(III) in the rate-limiting step is suggested.
