The design and synthesis of two conformationally constrained analogues of didemnin B are described. The [N,O-Me2Tyr5]residue of didemnin B was replaced with L-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Tic) and L-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-7-methoxyisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (MeO-Tic), which mimic the N,O-dimethylated tyrosine while constraining the conformation of the molecule. Preliminary results indicate that the conformation of the [N,O-Me2Tyr5]residue closely matches the conformation imposed by the Tic replacement.

A didemnin B analog containing a Tic (1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3- carboxylic acid) as a comformationally restrained replacement for tyrosine has been synthesized and shown to have comparable potency as a protein biosynthesis inhibitor. Synthetic hig
