Enkephalin is a morphine-like pentapeptide: Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Xxx, Xxx=Met or Leu. To consider the relationship between the enkephalin conformation and the opioid receptor, the crystal structures of enkephalin analogues were analyzed by the X-ray diffraction method, and two characteristic forms were observed as the fundamental conformation of enkephalin, One is the β-turn structllre and the other the antiparallelly extended dimer (ED) structure. From the NMR and CD spectral studies, it was suggested that the β-turn and ED structures of enkephalin are the most probable conformations for the binding to μ-and δ-receptors, respectively. Further, the molecular-dynamics simulations indicated that these conformation are both advantageous in energetical term. Based on the insight of the enkephalin conformation, it was attempted to convert the μ-selective morphine toward δ-affinitive ligand by the dimerization.

Two kinds of 4-aryltetralin type lignans, β-peltatin-A methyl ether (I-A) and β-peltatin-B methyl ether (I-B), were synthesized from desoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), which is available in large quantities from the seeds of Hernandia ovigera L. (Hernandiaceae). The syntheses were achieved via demethylene-DPT (IV), 8-bromo-demethylene-DPT (V) and 8-bromo-DPT (VI). Methylenation of V was carried out successfully by using cesium fluoride and methylene iodide in DMF. Compound I-B was readily obtained by the reaction of VI with cuprous iodide and sodium methoxide in the presence of pyridine. Synthesis of I-A was only achieved by the reaction of lithiated VI with nitrobenzene at-100°C in the presence of tetramethylethylene diamine, and I-A was obtained in low yield, together with I-B.

Two kinds of lignans were isolated from the seeds of Hernandia ovigera L. (Hernandiaceae) besides the previously reported desoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT), desoxypicropodophyllin, bursehernin and podorhizol, and the structures of the lignans were clarified. One, C23H24O8, named hernandin, was identified as 5-methoxy-desoxypodophyllotoxin (I) by both chemical and X-ray crystallographic methods. The other, C22H18O7, was obtained by purification of a previously isolated impure substance, mp 270-275°C. This compound was identified as 1, 2, 3, 4-dehydrodesoxypodophyllotoxin (II). This is the first report of the natural occurrence of II in plants.
