Abstract:
Culicinin D is a 10 amino acid peptaibol containing a rare and synthetically challenging (2S,4S,6R)-AHMOD residue, that exhibits potent antiproliferative activity against MDA-MB-468 cells. An SAR study focusing on replacement of the AHMOD residue was undertaken, culminating in the revelation that a 6-hydroxy or 6-keto substituent was essential to retain potent low nanomolar antiproliferative activity.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
