The cytotoxic cyclic peptides axinastatin 2, 3, 4 and 5, isolated from the ocean marine sponges Axinella sp. and Axinella cf. cateri, were synthesized and characterized by FAB-MS and homo- and heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. The synthetic compounds proved to be identical with the natural products. The cyclization yield of axinastatin 5 could be increased using structural information of a conformationally comparable compound. In contrast to the published biological activity very low activities were found for all compounds.

Practical total syntheses of axinastatins 2 2b and 3 2c were completed by employing Fmoc protection for the N-terminal, and tert-butyl ester blocking for the C-terminal, units of the amlno add and peptide intermediates. Generally, diethyl phosphorocyanidate proved effective for formation of the peptide bond, and in the one exception, asparagine, the o-nitrophenyl active ester proved to be useful. For the final cyclization reaction BOP-Cl was found especially effective. Copyright 1996 by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
