## Abstract The synthesis and NMR elucidation of two novel pentacycloundecane (PCU)โbased peptides are reported. The PCU cage amino acids were synthesised as racemates and the incorporation of the cage amino acid with (__S__)โnatural amino acids produced diastereomeric peptides. The diastereomeric

โฆ Synopsis
The synthesis and NMR elucidation of AlaโValโProโIle and five novel peptideโbased derivatives are reported. These peptides mimic the natural second mitochondriaโderived activator of caspase (Smac) protein. Purification was achieved using preparative HPLC and the NMR elucidation of all compounds is reported for the first time. A series of overlapping signals were observed in the 1D NMR spectra thus making assignment a difficult task to undertake. The use of 2D NMR techniques with the inclusion of efficient adiabatic symmetrized ROESY proved to be an effective tool in overcoming these difficulties.
