Another mechanism proposed for reaction between unsaturated <strong>di</strong>aldehydes<br />

and peptides was suggested by Fritz 30 this mechanism included both a pyrrole<br />

formation and a Michael-ad<strong>di</strong>tion. (Scheme 1.3)<br />

The high reactivity of unsaturated <strong>di</strong>aldehydes toward primary amino groups is<br />

often proposed to explain their antibiotic activity and their enzyme inhibiting<br />

properties. In fact their reactivity towards primary amines in vivo may produce<br />

some of natural pyrrols (molliorins 1.41) which are co-isolated with the<br />

correspon<strong>di</strong>ng aldehyde scalara<strong>di</strong>al. This compound is formed in vivo in the<br />

sponge Cacospongia mollior, most probably by reaction with scalara<strong>di</strong>al 1.6 and<br />

ornitin 1.40. (Scheme 1.4)<br />
