Abstract

Synthesis of calpinactam 1, a Fungal antimycobacterial metabolite, utilizing solid-phase peptide synthesis is described. To explore the structure-activity relationships of 1, its derivatives with different Amino acids were also synthesized on the basis of the same synthetic strategy. These derivatives were examined for antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis. Among them, only peptide 6d having d-Ala in place of d-Glu showed moderate activity.
