Three new cyclic depsipeptides, neamphamides B (2), C (3), and D (4), were isolated from the Australian sponge Neamphius huxleyi. The planar structural characterization of these molecules was elucidated using 2D NMR experiments and ESI-FTICR-MSn. Their configurations were determined by Marfey's method and J-based NMR analysis. These new metabolites inhibited the growth of human cell lines (A549, HeLa, LNCaP, PC3, and NFF) with IC50 values ranging from 88 to 370 nM. However, neamphamide D causes A549 cell proliferation at subcytotoxic doses and should be treated cautiously as a cytotoxic compound.

A range of oxazolidinones derived from N-carbamoyl α-amino acids were prepared by an efficient method as key intermediates in the synthesis of N-methyl amino acids and peptides. The method was readily applied to most α-amino acids except those with basic side chains. The oxazolidinones were converted by reductive cleavage into N-methyl α-amino acids. CSIRO 2000.
Cosmetic composition

, (2008/06/13)
A composition suitable for topical application to mammalian skin and hair for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth comprises a hair growth promoter chosen from glutamine derivatives and salts thereof. The composition preferably also comprises an activity enhancer which may be chosen from hair growth stimulants, penetration enhancers and cationic polymers.
