Wewakazole B is a novel cyclodecapeptide with highly potent cytotoxic activity isolated from a sample of M. producens collected from the Red Sea. It contains nine common and three modified amino acid residues. The first total synthesis of Wewakazole B was successfully achieved on a gram scale, unambiguously confirming its structure. Notable features include the careful choice of amino acid-protecting groups and the construction of three different substituted oxazoles present in this natural product.

Expanding on our earlier building block architecture [(MeO) 2CH-Linker-Pro-X-NHNH2 where X = Phe, Cha], we have produced a series of new pseudo-dipeptides [(MeO)2CH-Linker-Pro-X- NHNH2 where X = Val, Leu, Ile, A

The enzymatic hydrolysis of dipeptides by carboxypeptidase-Y and carboxypeptidase-A was investigated. In the enzymatic hydrolysis of the dipeptides, a good linear relationship (r = 0.997 and 0.999) was found between the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and the hydrophobicity of the substrates evaluated from relative elution volume in reversed-phase HPLC. The correlation suggests that the hydrophobicity of the C-terminal amino acid is a major factor in governing the stability of the enzyme-substrate complex. The difference in the slope of the linear-regression lines seems to reflect the degree of relative hydrophobicity of the binding pockets in carboxypeptidase-Y and carboxypeptidase-A.
