Abstract
Peptide compounds play a significant role in medicinal chemistry as they can inhibit the activity of species that cause malaria. This literature review summarizes the isolation of antimalarial peptides, the synthesis method with the detailed structure and sequences of each peptide, and discusses the biological activity of the isolated and synthesized compounds. The synthetic routes and reactions for cyclic and linear antimalarial peptides are systematically highlighted in this review including preparing building blocks, protection and deprotection, coupling and cyclization reactions until the target compound is obtained. Based on the literature data and the results, this review's aim is to provide information to discover and synthesize more antimalarial peptide for future research.

ACS Med Chem Lett 2023; 14:1344-1350.

Abstract
A marine cyanobacterial cyclic depsipeptide, coibamide A (CbA), inhibits the mammalian protein secretory pathway by blocking the Sec61 translocon, which is an emerging drug target for cancer and other chronic diseases. In our previous structure-activity relationship study of CbA, the macrolactone ester linker was replaced with alkyl/alkenyl surrogates to provide synthetically accessible macrocyclic scaffolds. To optimize the cellular bioactivity profile of CbA analogues, novel lysine mimetics having β- and ε-methyl groups have now been designed and synthesized by a stereoselective route. A significant increase in cytotoxicity was observed upon introduction of these two methyl groups, corresponding to the d-MeAla α-methyl and MeThr β-methyl of CbA. All synthetic products retained the ability to inhibit secretion of a model Sec61 substrate. Tandem evaluation of secretory function inhibition in living cells and cytotoxicity was an effective strategy to assess the impact of structural modifications to the linker for ring closure.

Amide-to-ester substitution as a stable alternative to N-methylation for increasing membrane permeability in cyclic peptides. Nat Commun 2023; 14:1416. [PMID: 36932083 PMCID: PMC10023679 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-36978-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Naturally occurring peptides with high membrane permeability often have ester bonds on their backbones. However, the impact of amide-to-ester substitutions on the membrane permeability of peptides has not been directly evaluated. Here we report the effect of amide-to-ester substitutions on the membrane permeability and conformational ensemble of cyclic peptides related to membrane permeation. Amide-to-ester substitutions are shown to improve the membrane permeability of dipeptides and a model cyclic hexapeptide. NMR-based conformational analysis and enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the conformational transition of the cyclic hexapeptide upon membrane permeation is differently influenced by an amide-to-ester substitution and an amide N-methylation. The effect of amide-to-ester substitution on membrane permeability of other cyclic hexapeptides, cyclic octapeptides, and a cyclic nonapeptide is also investigated to examine the scope of the substitution. Appropriate utilization of amide-to-ester substitution based on our results will facilitate the development of membrane-permeable peptides.
