Abstract

The first synthesis of the glycine-rich cyclic octapeptide pohlianin C is reported, confirming the structure of this natural product. Screening against Plasmodium falciparum reveals moderate antiplasmodial activity, consistent with data obtained from the natural sample. In addition, the synthesis of three analogues reveals that the antiplasmodial activity of pohlianin C can be preserved or increased with simplified structures.

Keywords: Cyclic peptide; Jatropha; Malaria; Natural product; Pohlianin.
