| Research Abstract |
Nephilatoxins have been isolated from the venom of Joro spider (Nephila clavata) , which show the potent blocking activity to glutamic acid receptor in brain and induce histamine release from rat peritoneal mast call. We aimed at the total synthesis of the toxins and their congeners to make ample supply of their toxins possible. The feature of toxins are characterized by the structure consisting of an aromatic acid, some amino acids, and polyamines. Therefore, the key point of their synthesis depends upon how to construct polyamine moiety included in the toxin structures. We developed a useful method for the purpose using azide group in the place of amino group.
Based on the basic precise reseach work, we accomplished total synthesis of six toxins NPTX-7,8,9,10,11, and 12 and D-NPTX-8 and 12 having D-aspargine in the place of L-amino acid originaly present in genuin toxins in large quantity. Biological test of the samples thus synthesized provided instructive information about structure-activity relationship.
