Based on computer modeling of the active site of nitric oxide synthases (NOS), a series of 10 amidine compounds (9-18) was designed including potential inhibitors that involve the coordination of side-chain functional groups with the iron of the heme cofactor. The most potent and selective compound was the methylthio amidine analogue 9, which was more potent than l-nitroarginine with 185-fold selectivity for inhibition of neuronal NOS over endothelial NOS. It also exhibited time-dependent inhibition, but did not involve the mechanism previously proposed for other amidine inhibitors of NOS. None of the compounds, however, exhibited heme-binding characteristics according to absorption spectroscopy.

Diastereoselective conjugate addition of homochiral lithium (R)-N-allyl-N-α-methylbenzylamide to methyl (2E,5E)-hepatadienoate, followed by protecting group manipulation and subsequent iodocyclocarbamation allows a concise route to the core fragment, methyl (3R,5R,6R)-3,6-diamino-5- hydroxyheptanoate, of sperabillins B and D. Differentiation between the C-3 and C-6 primary amino groups of this core amino acid was readily achieved by treatment with acetone, giving the 5,6-isopropylidene and C-3-imine protected diamine, with subsequent regioselective acylation of the C-6-nitrogen facilitating the total synthesis of sperabillin D in 10.8% overall yield, and the first asymmetric synthesis of sperabillin B in 5.8% overall yield.
