Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a bacterial pathogen that causes a potentially serious infectious disease called tuberculosis (TB). Cyclohexapeptide wollamides A and B were recently isolated from Streptomyces nov. sp. (MST-115088) and subsequently reported to show excellent in vitro antituberculosis activity with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1.56μg/mL against Mtb (H37Rv) and favorable selectivity profile. This chapter describes the detailed synthesis of antitubercular wollamide analogs using solid-phase synthesis of linear hexapeptide precursors, followed by solution-phase HBTU-mediated macrocyclization and global side chain deprotection.
