An efficient and versatile synthesis of all structural types of acylpolyamine spider toxins

Abstract

An efficient and versatile synthesis of acylpolyamine spider toxins of all structural types classified by extensive MS analysis has been achieved. By using 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide as an effective activating and/or protecting group (the Nosyl strategy), the naturally occurring toxins 1-8 corresponding to Types A-F were concisely synthesized in high overall yield. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
