G. Vertuani et al., STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY STUDIES ON CHEMICALLY-MODIFIED HOMOLOGS OF THE ANTIBIOTIC PHYTOTOXIC LEUCINOSTATIN-A, Journal of antibiotics, 48(3), 1995, pp. 254-260
The synthesis and a conformational study of a number of homologues of
the well known antibiotic, phytotoxic leucinostatin A are reported. Th
e circular dichroism of all the compounds are discussed. Some conclusi
ons on the SAR of these compounds are drawn. The influence of the a-he
lical conformation and/or the increased lipophile character on their i
nteresting biological activities is emphasized.
