Abstract

Two stereoisomers of melleumin B (1), seco acid methyl ester of melleumin A (2), which are novel peptide compounds isolated from the myxomycete Physarum melleum, were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibition of Wnt signal transcription. The 3R-epimer and (3R, 4S, 10R, 11R)-isomer of 1 showed moderate inhibition of the Wnt signal.
