J. Scherkenbeck et al., Synthesis, conformational studies and anthelmintic activity of a constrained PF1022A analogue, PEST SCI, 55(4), 1999, pp. 457-461
A mono-proline analogue of the potent anthelmintic cyclooctadepsipeptide PF
1022A has been synthesized. NMR studies in combination with molecular dynam
ics simulations demonstrate that the confirmation of this analogue is both
rigidified and distorted compared with the asymmetric conformation of PF102
2A. The backbone conformation is significant with respect to anthelmintic a
ctivity. (C) 1999 Society of Chemical Industry.
