Research Abstract

In further structural study of polytheonamides, the candidates of the structures for the 44^<th> residue amino acid were synthesized. As the result, the structure of the pertinent resudue was concluded to be β,β-dimethylmethionine. This was confirmed by chemical reaction of polytheonamide B by oxidation and reduction. In the meantime, the structure of polytheonamide A was firmly established as a diastereomer differing in the configuration of the sulfur atom in the 44^<th> residue. The absolute stereochemistry of the 44^<th> residue was determined by BrCN reaction of polytheonamides affording the C-terminal lactone, and the following GC analysis on a chiral stationary phase.
Channel forming activity of polytheonamides were examined. Both polytheonamides A and B are incorporated into the lipid bilayer and conducted monovalent cations as does bacterial linear peptide gramicidin A. The channel formed by polytheonamides showed open and close state. The mechanism of this character needs further study.
