This study details the solid-phase synthesis of trunkamide A, a marine-derived compound in preclinical trials. The developed method is efficient for large-scale production of trunkamide A and similar bioactive peptides.

Area of Science:

  • Marine natural products chemistry
  • Organic synthesis
  • Medicinal chemistry

Background:

  • Marine organisms are a prolific source of novel biologically active compounds.
  • Trunkamide A, a marine-derived peptide, is undergoing preclinical trials.
  • The chemical structure of trunkamide A includes a thiazoline heterocycle and modified serine (Ser) and threonine (Thr) residues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a solid-phase total synthesis strategy for trunkamide A.
  • To develop a method suitable for the large-scale synthesis of trunkamide A and related peptides.

Main Methods:

  • Solid-phase peptide synthesis using a quasi-orthogonal protecting group strategy (tert-butyl and fluorenyl based groups) on chlorotrityl resin.
  • Utilizing HOAt-based coupling reagents for efficient peptide bond formation.

  • Solution-phase cyclization steps for constructing the final peptide structure.
  • Preparation of reverse prenyl (rPr) derivatives of Ser and Thr.
  • Incorporation of a protected amino thionoacid derivative as a thiazoline precursor.
  • Thiazoline ring formation using diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST).

    • Main Results:

    • Successful solid-phase total synthesis of trunkamide A was achieved.
    • The synthetic strategy effectively incorporates the thiazoline heterocycle and reverse prenyl modified amino acids.
    • The method facilitates the preparation of key intermediates, including rPr-Ser and rPr-Thr derivatives and the thiazoline precursor.

    Conclusions:
