AbstractThe field of combinatorial synthesis and “artificial intelligence” in materials science is still in its infancy. In order to develop and accelerated strategy in the discovery of new materials and processes, requires the need to integrate both the experimental aspects of combinatorial synthesis with the computational aspects of information based design of materials. In biology and organic chemistry, this has been accomplished by developing descriptors which help to specify “quantitative structure- activity relationships” at the molecular level. If materials science is to adopt these strategies as well, a similar framework of “QSARs” is required. In this paper, we outline some approaches that can lay the foundations for QSARs in materials science.

AbstractThe 14-membered cycloisodityrosine is the core structure of RA-series antitumor bicyclic peptides obtained from Rubia plants (Rubiaceae). In this study, an efficient method for the synthesis of cycloisodityrosines from commercially available l-tyrosine derivatives was developed. Using synthetic cycloisodityrosines and cycloisodityrosines with modified structures, several RA-VII analogues were designed and synthesized to explore structure–activity relationships of the cycloisodityrosine moiety of the RA-series peptides, and newly isolated natural peptides were synthesized to establish their structures.
