Polytheonamide B (1) is an ion-channel forming natural peptide with ad,l-alternating 48 amino acid sequence, which is an exceedingly potent cytotoxin. We recently designed and synthesized a simplified dansylated polytheonamide mimic2, in which six amino acid residues were modified from1, and demonstrated that2emulated the functions of1. Here we report a comprehensive structure–activity relationship study of substructures of2. A unified synthetic strategy was developed for highly automated syntheses of 13 peptide sequences of 27 to 39 amino acid residues, and the artificial 37-mer peptide6was discovered to be significantly more toxic than the other 12 compounds toward P388 mouse leukemia cells (IC50= 3.7 nM). Ion exchange activity experiments of6using the liposome and P388 cells both demonstrated that6did not possess ion-channel activity, strongly suggesting that6exerted its potent cytoxicity through a distinct mode of action from1and2.
