The Fukuyama-Mitsunobu amination strategy has emerged as an efficient means of N-alkylation of peptides and sulfonamides, as well as a method for synthesis of polyamines on solid phase. Here, an array of reagent combinations for solid-phase alkylation wit

Philanthotoxin-433 (PhTX-433) is a polyamine wasp toxin that antagonizes certain ionotropic receptors. In the present work three analogues of PhTX-433 were synthesized in good overall yields (27-31%) employing a Fukuyama-Mitsunobu strategy on solid phase.

Philanthotoxin-433 (PhTX-433) is a polyamine wasp toxin that antagonizes certain ionotropic receptors noncompetitively. Four analogues of PhTX-433, C-methylated in the polyamine chain, were synthesized from (RS)-1,3-butanediol, two diamine building blocks, and an activated/protected tyrosine derivative. Use of a phosphane reagent more bulky than trimethylphosphane gave a high intramolecular selectivity between primary and secondary hydroxy groups in the Fukuyama-Mitsunobu reaction. Thus, trimethylphosphane proved to be the only phosphane reagent that enabled alkylation of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamides with a wide range of secondary alcohols, whereas tributylphosphane was selective for primary alcohol groups. This selectivity was utilized to obtain orthogonally protected, asymmetric, branched tetraamines, employed for solution-phase synthesis of philanthotoxin analogues. The branched philanthotoxin analogues thus obtained were tested in an electrophysiological assay using rat brain ionotropic glutamate receptors expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Their potencies proved to be similar to the corresponding nonbranched analogues. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
