Five lipopeptides of the lyngbyabellin structure class, four cyclic (1-3 and 5) and one linear (4), were isolated from the extracts of two collections of filamentous marine cyanobacteria obtained from the Palmyra Atoll in the Central Pacific Ocean. Their

The kinetic resolution of the methyl α-hydroperoxy esters 4 has been investigated by horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed reduction to the corresponding optically active α-hydroxy esters 5 in the presence of guaiacol.The method allows for the first time the preparation of enantiomerically pure (ee>97percent) methyl (R)-2-hydroperoxybutyrate (4a).The HRP enzyme is sensitive to the steric demand of the ester alkyl side chain, as manifested by ethyl (ee>97percent) and isopropyl (ee 79percent), while the tert-butyl derivative is not accepted by the enzyme (no reduction).

Kinenzoline (1), a new linear depsipeptide, was isolated from a marine Salileptolyngbya sp. cyanobacterium. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and degradation reactions. In addition, we achieved a total synthesis of 1 and confirmed its structure. Kinenzoline (1) showed highly selective antiproliferative activity against the causative organism of sleeping sickness, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC50 4.5 μM), compared to normal human cells (WI-38, IC50 > 100 μM). Kinenzoline (1) is a promising lead compound for the development of new antitrypanosomal drugs.
Chiral α-Amino Acid-Based NMR Solvating Agents

Four new chiral α-(nonafluoro-tert-butoxy)carboxylic acids were synthesized from naturally occurring α-amino acids (alanine, valine, leucine and isoleucine, respectively), and tested in 1H- and 19F-NMR experiments as chiral NMR shift reagents. The NMR studies were carried out at room temperature, using CDCl3 and C6D6 as solvents, and (RS)-α-phenylethylamine and (RS)-α-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine as racemic model compounds. To demonstrate the applicability of the reagents, the racemic drugs ketamine and prasugrel were also tested.
