الوصف: Cordyheptapeptide A is a lipophilic cyclic peptide from the prized Cordyceps fungal genus that shows potent cytotoxicity in multiple cancer cell lines. To better understand the bioactivity and physicochemical properties of cordyheptapeptide A with the ultimate goal of identifying its cellular target, we developed a solid-phase synthesis of this multiply N -methylated cyclic heptapeptide which enabled rapid access to both side chain- and backbone-modified derivatives. Removal of one of the backbone amide N -methyl (N-Me) groups maintained bioactivity, while membrane permeability was also preserved due to the formation of a new intramolecular hydrogen bond in a low dielectric solvent. Based on its cytotoxicity profile in the NCI-60 cell line panel, as well as its phenotype in a microscopy-based cytological assay, we hypothesized that cordyheptapeptide was acting on cells as a protein synthesis inhibitor. Further studies revealed the molecular target of cordyheptapeptide A to be the eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A), a target shared by other lipophilic cyclic peptide natural products. This work offers a strategy to study and improve cyclic peptide natural products while highlighting the ability of these lipophilic compounds to effectively inhibit intracellular disease targets.
