Abstract: Dolastatin 15(D15)was a linear depsipeptide with two N-methylated valines and a complex C-terminal, showing potent cell growth inhibitory activity. D15 was highly alkylation and with spacial constraints. Modifications at D15’s N-terminal were performed by introducing three unnatural amino acid analogs 13 with more conformation-restriction and hydrophobicity. Twenty-one compounds were synthesized, and their activities were evaluated in vitro on human tumor cell lines K562, OVCA2780 and Kato-Ⅲ. Some compounds exhibited modest potency compared to compound LU103793, an analog of D15, evaluated in clinical phase Ⅱ now. A primary structure-activity relationship was summarized about the N-terminal.
