Preparation and properties of novel gramicidin S analogs possessing a tri-, tetra- or pentamethylene bridge between ornithine side chains.
Gramicidin S (GS) analogs in which the Ndelta atoms of the two Orn side chains are linked by an oligomethylene bridge [-(CH2)n-; n=3-5] were prepared via the bis(p-nitrobenzenesulfonyl) derivative [Orn(NBS)2,2']GS. For comparison the nonbridged secondary amino group-containing analog [Orn(Me)2,2']GS was also prepared. 1H NMR and CD spectral analysis indicated that these analogs adopt the same beta-sheet conformation as GS. The antimicrobial activities of these analogs were very similar, but were slightly dependent on the bridge chain length, the trimethylene-bridged analog being the most potent.
