The present investigation reports the synthesis of a phenylalanine-rich -methylated cyclopeptide, cordyheptapeptide A (), previously isolated from the insect pathogenic fungus sp. BCC 1788, accomplished through the coupling of -methylated tetrapeptide and tripeptide fragments followed by cyclization of the linear heptapeptide unit. Structure elucidation of the newly synthesized cyclopolypeptide was performed by means of FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, C-NMR, and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS), and screened for its antibacterial, antidermatophytic, and cytotoxic potential. According to the antimicrobial activity results, the newly synthesized -Methylated cyclopeptide exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and and antifungal activity against dermatophytes and at a concentration of 6 μg/mL, in comparison to the reference drugs, gatifloxacin and griseofulvin. In addition, cyclopolypeptide displayed suitable levels of cytotoxicity against (DLA) and (EAC) cell lines.
本研究报道了一种富含苯丙氨酸的甲基化环肽——虫草七肽A()的合成,该肽先前从昆虫病原真菌sp. BCC 1788中分离得到,通过甲基化四肽和三肽片段的偶联,随后将线性七肽单元环化来完成合成。通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、¹H-核磁共振(¹H-NMR)、碳-核磁共振(C-NMR)和快原子轰击质谱(FABMS)对新合成的环多肽进行结构解析,并对其抗菌、抗皮肤真菌和细胞毒性潜力进行筛选。根据抗菌活性结果,与参考药物加替沙星和灰黄霉素相比,新合成的甲基化环肽在浓度为6 μg/mL时,对革兰氏阴性菌和显示出强效抗菌活性,对皮肤真菌和显示出抗真菌活性。此外,环多肽对(DLA)和(EAC)细胞系表现出适度的细胞毒性水平。
