Meeting the challenge : A reliable and modular reaction sequence has been developed for the synthesis of the challenging tubulysin framework. This route allows preparation of hundreds of milligrams of the stereochemically pure tetrapeptides (see picture), which are produced in small amounts by two different species of myxobacteria. Thus, full biological evaluation of the tubulysins and their analogues is now a real possibility.
