The structure and synthesis of malformin A.

A structure (the disulfide form of cyclo-D-cysteinyl-L-valyl-D-cysteinyl-D-leucyl-L-isoleucyl), previously proposed for malformin A, was reexamined. On the basis of chemical degradations, a different structure (the disulfide form of cyclo-D-cysteinyl-D-cysteinyl-L-valyl-D-leucyl-L-isoleucyl) was established. Accordingly, a compound with this structure was synthesized and was found to be identical with malformin A. The synthetic product causes curvatures on corn roots; maximum effect was seen at a concentration of 0.1 mug/ml, the optimal concentration for malformin A.

Biological activities of synthetic peptides corresponding to fragments of and to the entire sequence of the vasoactive intestinal peptide.

An octacosapeptide with the entire sequence proposed for the newly isolated vasoactive intestinal polypeptide was synthesized and had the expected biological properties. Synthetic peptides corresponding to the C-terminal hendeca-, tetradeca-, pentadeca-, and docosapeptide sequences of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide showed activities that increased with increasing chain length.
