New preparative procedures were developed applying tert-butoxycarbonyl or trifluoroacetyl protection of amino groups in the synthesis of L-leucyl-L-isoleucine and L-isoleucyl-L-leucine.

New isolates of Streptomyces champavatii were isolated from marine sediments of the Gotland Deep (Baltic Sea), from the Urania Basin (Eastern Mediterranean), and from the Kiel Bight (Baltic Sea). The isolates produced several oligopeptidic secondary metabolites, including the new octapeptide champacyclin (1a) present in all three strains. Herein, we report on the isolation, structure elucidation and determination of the absolute stereochemistry of this isoleucine/leucine (Ile/Leu = Xle) rich cyclic octapeptide champacyclin (1a). As 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy could not fully resolve the structure of (1a), additional information on sequence and configuration of stereocenters were obtained by a combination of multi stage mass spectrometry (MSn) studies, amino acid analysis, partial hydrolysis and subsequent enantiomer analytics with gas chromatography positive chmical ionization/electron impact mass spectrometry (GC-PCI/EI-MS) supported by comparison to reference dipeptides. Proof of the head-to-tail cyclization of (1a) was accomplished by solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) compared to an alternatively side chain cyclized derivative (2). Champacyclin (1a) is likely synthesized by a non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), because of high content of (D)-amino acids. The compound (1a) showed antimicrobial activity against the phytopathogen Erwinia amylovora causing the fire blight disease of certain plants.

The present invention provides a Dpp4 inhibitor which comprises a leucine derivative of the following formula (1) or a methionine derivative of the following formula (2): wherein each R1 and R3 represents a hydrogen atom (H) and an L-amino acid residue; R2 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline, alanine and phenylalanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide, alanine amide and phenylalanine amide) residue; and R4 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline and alanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide and alanine amide) residue. These derivatives also act as autophagy regulators.
