Abstract
FR900452, a natural product isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces phaeofaciens No. 7739, was found to inhibit PAF-induced rabbit platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 3.7 x 10(-7)M. FR900452, 1-methyl-3-[1-[5- methylthiomethyl-6-oxo-3-(2-oxo-3-cyclopenten-1-yli- dene)-2-piperazinyl]ethyl]-2-indoline, has an oxocylopentylidene group incorporated as a vinylogous amide in a diketopiperazine skeleton. This unique structure led us to synthesize diketopiperazine derivatives, 3-arylalkyl- 6-substituted-piperazine-2,5-diones. Their observed PAF inhibitory activity suggest that the D-D configuration of diketopiperazine is an important factor for anti-PAF activity and that the hydrophobic aromatic portion may play a specific role in the binding of the diketopiperazine to the PAF receptor.Entities:
