| Title:  Cyclotheonamides Literature References:  Naturally occurring family of macrocyclic peptides that inhibit serine proteases such as thrombin, q.v.  Isolated from the Japanese marine sponge Theonella swinhoei; the two major forms, A and B, contain a vinylogous tyrosine (V-Tyr) and an a-ketoarginine residues - amino acids which were previously unknown in nature.  Isoln and initial structure of A and B:  N. Fusetani et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 112, 7053 (1990).  Reassignment of stereochemistry and total synthesis of B:  M. Hagihara, S. L. Schreiber, ibid. 114, 6570 (1992).  Facile synthesis of B:  H. M. M. Bastiaans et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 36, 5963 (1995).  Isoln of C, D, E:  Y. Nakao et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. 3, 1115 (1995).  Inhibition of thrombin and other serine proteases:  S. D. Lewis et al., Thromb. Res. 70, 173 (1993).  Molecular basis of inhibition and synthesis of A:  B. E. Maryanoff et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90, 8048 (1993).   Derivative Type:  Cyclotheonamide A  CAS Registry Number:  129033-04-1 CAS Name:  [S(E)]-3-[[4-Amino-5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-oxo-2-pentenyl]amino]-N-formyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-N6-(aminoiminomethyl)-2-oxo-L-3,6-diaminohexanoyl-D-phenylalanine cyclic (4®1)-peptide Manufacturers' Codes:  MS-1144 Molecular Formula:  C36H45N9O8 Molecular Weight:  731.80 Percent Composition:  C 59.09%, H 6.20%, N 17.23%, O 17.49% Properties:  uv max (methanol):  278 nm (e 1940).
