us stability concern, Retro aldol reaction ofof the -hydroxytryptophan seems toserious stability concern, also aldol reaction the -hydroxytryptophan appears to be really serious stability issue, also throughout synthesis. This creating block undergoes the discussed side reaction proceeding beneath synthesis. This constructing block block undergoes the discussed side reaction proceeding during also throughout synthesis. This building undergoes the discussed side reaction proceeding beneath CXCR4 site slightly basic circumstances. Beneath acidic conditions, conditions, water is swiftly eliminated, slightly simple situations. Beneath acidic situations, water is swiftly eliminated, resulting within the below slightly fundamental conditions. Under acidicwater is rapidly eliminated, resulting within the formation with the ,-unsaturated dehydrotryptophan derivative. To prevent these troubles, formation of the ,-unsaturated dehydrotryptophan derivative. To avoid these issues, resulting inside the formation on the ,-unsaturated dehydrotryptophan derivative. To prevent Kazmaier et al. Kazmaier a series of cyclomarin derivatives containing non-hydroxylated Kazmaier et al. synthesized a al. synthesized a series of cyclomarin derivatives containing these complications,synthesizedet series of cyclomarin derivatives containing non-hydroxylated tryptophans (desoxycyclomarins), e.g., the creating blocks the in ilamycins/rufomycin tryptophans (desoxycyclomarins), e.g., the creating blocks located building blocks discovered in non-hydroxylated tryptophans (desoxycyclomarins), e.g.,located in ilamycins/rufomycin N-Isopropyltryptophan was obtained through Negishi coupling of 3-iodo-N-isopropylin[85,86]. N-IsopropyltryptophanN-Isopropyltryptophan was obtained3-iodo-N-isopropylin- of ilamycins/rufomycin [85,86]. was obtained via Negishi coupling of by means of Negishi coupling with protected zincated iodoalanine [86]. Otherderivatives may be Other derivatives can dole with protected zincated iodoalanine [86]. Other iodoalanine may be obtained by an im3-iodo-N-isopropylindole with protected zincated derivatives [86]. obtained by an improtocol for tryptophan alkylations [81]. Various modifications Numerous been created proved protocol for tryptophan alkylations [81]. Numerous modifications have also modifications be obtained by an enhanced protocol for tryptophan alkylations [81]. have also been created -methoxyphenylalanine unit [73]. Other derivatives four [73]. Other derivatives have been around the -methoxyphenylalanine unit [73]. Other derivatives have been synthesized using furhave also been produced around the -methoxyphenylalanine unit were synthesized utilizing furmodifications on further blocks and on building ther modifications on buildingmodifications (Figure four). synthesized utilizingbuilding blocks and (Figure four). blocks 2 and 7 (Figure 4).Figure 4.
