Abstract
The work embodied in this thesis is divided into two parts. Part-A describes the studies of the chemical constituents of Taraxacum wallichii DC. (Asteraceae) and Salvia cabulica Bth. (Lamiaceae). Part-B deals with the synthesis of analogues of jasplakinolide which is a 19-membered cyclic depsipeptide showing potent insecticidal, anitifungal and cytotoxic activity.

Part A: The phytochemical investigations on T. wallichii DC. resulted in the isolation and characterization of a new guaianolide taraxacin (44), the structure of which was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique.

-----------------------------------------Taraxacin( Snap) ----------------------------------

The following known compounds were also isolated from T. wallichii. 1. Ketolactone (45) 2. β-Sitosterol (46) 3. Oleanolic acid (47) 4. β -Sitosterol 3-0- β -D-glucopyranoside (48)

The work on Salvia cabulica Bth. resulted in the isolation and characterization of following five known compounds.

1. Tetracosanoic acid, 2-( 4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl ester (49) 2. Lupeol (50) 3. β -Sitosterol (49) 4. Oleanolic acid (47) 5. β -Sitosterol β -0- β -D-glucopyranoside (48)

Part B : This part describes the synthesis of the analogues (Sy2741) and (Sy5141) of depsipeptide jasplakinolide. While several methods for the synthesis of p-amino acid exist, synthesis of four analogues of p-tyrosine derivative 72 (a-d) was effectively achieved using Evans methodology.

------------------------ β-Tyrosine derivative analogues(Snap)----------------------------

72(a) was incorporated in tripeptide fragments (81, 93 and 100), using DCC/HOBT as the coupling reagent, whereas the known tripeptide 107 was synthesized according to the literature.

-------------------------------Tripeptide fragments(Snap)-----------------------------------------

The tripeptides 81 and 93 were incorporated in macrocycles Sy2741 and Sy5141. Final macrolactam formation was achieved using TB TU in the presence of HOBT.

-----------------------------Jasplakinolide Analogues(Snap)--------------------------------------

Conformational analyses of theses synthetic analogues showed that the macrocyclic rings are more rigid than the jasplakinolide ring but all in all their conformations are very well comparable to the natural product. These analogues were tested for cytotixicity against two cell lines, L929 mouse fibroblast and ovary cancer cell line SKOV-3. Compound Sy5141 turned out to be most active among the two.
