Novel polycationic analogs of the cyclic decapeptide antibiotic, gramicidin S, possessing NH(2), D/L-Phe-NH or L-Lys-NH groups at the 4alpha- or 4beta-positions of the L-Pro residues, were synthesized. While L-Pro(4alpha/beta-NH(2))-containing analogs exhibited much weaker antibacterial activity, the D/L-Phe and L-Lys-substituted analogs exhibited higher antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria than the parent gramicidin S. All of these additional amino group-containing analogs showed substantially reduced toxicity against human blood cells.
合成了环十肽抗生素短杆菌肽S的新型聚阳离子类似物,这些类似物在L-脯氨酸残基的4α-或4β-位具有NH₂、D/L-苯丙氨酸-NH或L-赖氨酸-NH基团。虽然含L-脯氨酸(4α/β-NH₂)的类似物表现出弱得多的抗菌活性,但D/L-苯丙氨酸和L-赖氨酸取代的类似物对革兰氏阴性菌的抗菌活性高于母体短杆菌肽S。所有这些含额外氨基的类似物对人血细胞的毒性都大幅降低。
