The essential of the thesis The natural compounds have considered infinite supplies of bioactive substances for research and medical application. The abundance and diversity of the substance-frames had highly bioactive. Especially, the mechanism of action of each layer of these frames attracted of researchers so far. For the purpose of research on drug development, compounds from microbial sources are often achieved by total synthesis or will be modified in chemical structure to create large quantities of products as well as new derivatives. Tubulysins are the tetrapeptide class (figure 1.8) isolated from two myxobacteria strains Angiococcus disciformis An d48 and Archangium gephyra Ar 315. Studies have shown that tubulysins are the best class of anticytokines known to nowaday. The cancer cell inhibitory of tubulysins are show a wide range of human cancer cell lines such as ovarian cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon, lung and blood cancer. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that tubulysins inhibit the growth of cancer cells higher than anticancer drugs in use such as vinblastine, epothilone or taxol by approximately 20- to 1000 fold. Figure 1.8. Chemical formula of the tubulysins From the point of view of pharmaceutists, natural tubulysins are a leading class for research and development of new anticancer drugs. However, their content in bacteria are very low, which were not enough for intensive research. Thus, the total synthesis of tubulysins and their derivatives are very necessary and scientific significance. 1 2. Aim of the thesis Synthesis of several derivatives and tubulysin analogues with the replacement of the amino acid methylpipecolic (Mep) at the N-terminal, replacing N,O-acetyl group by methyl group, and researching the role of tubuphenylalanine (Tup) group at the C-terminal . Evaluation of cytotoxic activity on a number of cancer cell lines in order to further clarify the correlation between the activity and the structure of the tubulysins, and to find new compounds with remarkable activity. 3.
