The novel natural product xyloallenoide A, isolated from the marine mangrove endophytic fungus from the South China Sea, and its diastereoisomer xyloallenoide A1, which contain N ‐methyl‐substituted amino acids, were synthesized. The absolute configurations of the amino acid units of xyloallenoide A were finally confirmed to be L ‐Lys, Me‐ D ‐Val, and Me‐ L ‐Ala. This report represents a practical and attractive alternative for the synthesis of N ‐methyl‐substituted cyclotripeptides. In the preliminary bioassay, synthetic xyloallenoide A showed marginal activities against KB ( IC 50 =9.6 μ M ) and KBv200 cells ( IC 50 =10.3 μ M ), and xyloallenoide A1 was inactive against KB and KBv200 cells.
