The first solution-phase synthesis of a naturally occurring tetrapeptide cyclo-(isoleucyl-prolyl-leucyl-alanyl) was accomplished by coupling dipeptide segments Boc-l-Pro-l-Leu-OH and l-Ala-l-Ile-OMe. The deportation of the linear tetrapeptide unit and subsequent cyclization produced a cyclopeptide that was identical in every way to the naturally occurring compound. The bioactivity results showed that the synthesised peptide had antifungal and antihelmintic properties against pathogenic dermatophytes and earthworms.
