The desmethoxy analogue of the cytotoxic, cyclic depsipeptide callipeltin B was synthesized to evaluate the role of its beta-MeOTyr residue. The IC(50) of desmethoxycallipeltin B, in which the beta-MeOTyr residue was replaced by d-Tyr, against HeLa cells was found to be 128+/-10 microM in an MTT assay, compared to 98+/-5 microM for the natural product itself. The roughly comparable cytotoxicities suggest that the cytotoxicity of callipeltin B does not arise through the formation of a quinone methide intermediate.
合成了细胞毒性环缩肽卡里佩尔汀B的去甲氧基类似物,以评估其β-甲基酪氨酸残基的作用。在MTT试验中,β-甲基酪氨酸残基被d-酪氨酸取代的去甲氧基卡里佩尔汀B对HeLa细胞的IC50为128±10微摩尔,而天然产物本身的IC50为98±5微摩尔。大致相当的细胞毒性表明,卡里佩尔汀B的细胞毒性并非通过形成醌甲基化物中间体产生。
