Abstract

In order to increase metabolic stability and water solubility of arenastatin A, an extremely potent cytotoxic depsipeptide from the Okinawan marine sponge of Dysidea arenaria, several 15,20-triamide analogues with a polar substituent on the phenyl ring were synthesized. The 15,20-triamide analogues with a polar substituent (24, 30, and 31) showed increased solubility to MeOH and stronger cytotoxicity against KB cells in comparison with the parental 15,20-triamide analogue (2). Furthermore, the diethylamine analogue (30) exhibited in vivo anti-tumor activity against subcutaneously implanted murine sarcoma.
