Abstract

Solid-phase total synthesis of sandramycin (1), which is a C2-symmetric cyclic decadepsipeptide natural product, and its analogues is described. On-resin ester formation and [5+5] peptide coupling allowed the preparation of a range of desymmetrized analogues. An amino acid residue that would not hamper the biological activity of 1 was successfully identified, and probe molecules and dimeric analogues were prepared on the basis of the result of the structure-activity relationship study.
