Rubiaceae-type cyclopeptides (RAs), cyclic hexapeptides from Rubia plants, have shown potential antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. Based on the review about plant cyclopeptides (Chem. Rev., 2006, 106: 840), this mini-review will highlight new progress on the discovery, synthesis, and mechanism of RAs isolated during 2005 to 2011, covering recent work in our group.
茜草科型环肽(RAs)是从茜草属植物中提取的环六肽,已在体外和体内显示出潜在的抗肿瘤活性。基于对植物环肽的综述(《化学评论》,2006年,106卷:840页),本综述将重点介绍2005年至2011年间分离得到的RAs在发现、合成及作用机制方面的新进展,涵盖我们小组的近期工作。
