    Abstract

    A general, improved procedure for rapid synthesis of philanthotoxin analogues, a pharmacologically important class of polyamine conjugates, is described. The solution-phase procedure is illustrated by gram-scale synthesis of philanthotoxins PhTX-343 and PhTX-12. Selectively protected polyamines are coupled to N(alpha)-Fmoc-protected amino acid pentafluorophenyl esters. After removal of the N(alpha)-Fmoc group, the amine is coupled with carboxylic acid pentafluorophenyl esters. Deprotection followed by a rapid and efficient purification by vacuum liquid chromatography on octadecylsilyl silica (RP-18 phase) gave the philanthotoxin analogues in 74-78% overall yield.
