โฆ Synopsis
An improved route to synthesize deglyco-bleomycin A2, the aglycon of bleomycin A2, aiming at the total synthesis of bleomycin is described. The new route is characterized by the stepwise elongation of the amino acid constituents and the use of a thiol ester obtained by aldol condensation.
Deglyco-bleomycin A2, the aglycon of bleomycin (BLM) A2, is a hexapeptide consisting of five amino acids and a terminal amine 1) . Deglyco-BLM was found in the culture broth in a trace amount and also isolated from the mild acid hydrolyzate of BLM 2)
- . The first total synthesis of deglyco-BLM A2 , achieved by us, was based on the fragment condensation of the dipeptide (;t-z) and tripeptide S 3, (2) followed by coupling with pyrimidoblamic acid (4).
