A mono-proline analogue of the potent anthelmintic cyclooctadepsipeptide PF1022A has been synthesized. NMR studies in combination with molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that the conΓΌrmation of this analogue is both rigidiΓΌed and distorted compared with the asymmetric conformation of PF1022A
PF 1022A, a 24-membered cyclooctadepsipeptide and a potent anthelmintic drug, is active against nematodes but not against arthropods. Muscle cells of Ascaris suum generate autorhythmic spikes in electrophysiological control experiments. Exposure of the worm to PF 1022A leads to flaccid paralysis and
The cyclic depsipeptide PF1022A, givea orally to mice, showed very good anthelmintic activity against Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Heterakis spwnosa at 50 mg kg-'. In uitro, PF1022A was very active against Trichinella spiralis and had good activity against Nippostrongylus brasiliensis at 1 pg d-'.
