RESUMO
An improved synthesis for tryptophan-dehydrobutyrine diketopiperazine (TDD), a co-metabolite of the hybrid polyketide/non-ribosomal peptide hangtaimycin, starting from Ê-tryptophan is presented. Comparison to TDD isolated from the hangtaimycin producer Streptomyces spectabilis confirmed its S configuration. The X-ray structure of the racemate shows an interesting dimerisation through hydrogen bridges. The results from bioactivity testings of hangtaimycin, TDD and the hangtaimycin degradation product HTM222 are given.
