Herdtweck Institut für Anorganische Chemie Technische Universität München General Experimental Procedures. Optical rotations were determined on a Perkin-Elmer 241 instrument. UV spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu UV-2102 PC scanning spectrometer. IR spectra were measured with a Nicolet 20DXB FT-IR spectrometer. NMR spectra were recorded in DMSO-d 6 on a Bruker DMX-600 spectrometer. For structural analogs only a selection of significant NMR data are given. EI mass spectra were obtained on a Finnigan MAT 95 spectrometer, high resolution data were aquired using peak matching (M/DM = 10000). ESI mass spectra were obtained on a QTOF 2 mass spectrometer (Micromass, Manchester). Pure compounds were characterized by analytical HPLC on Nucleosil C 18 (column 125 x 2 mm, 5µm, flow 0.3 ml/min), acetonitrile/10 mm ammonium acetate buffer, ph 5.5, gradient 30:70 to 95:5 in 20 min, diode array and ESI-MS detection. Preparative HPLC on Nucleosil (column 250 x 21 mm, 7 µm, flow 16 ml/min),solvent: acetonitril/ 50mM ammonium acetate buffer, ph 6.5, isocratic 35:65, detection: UV absorption at 227 nm.

Crystal structure analysis of tubulysin A (1): C 43 H 65 N 5 O 10 S, 5(H 5 O), M r = 934.15, colorless plate (0.25 0.25 0.08 mm 3 ), tetragonal, P4 3 2 1 2 (No.: 96), a = b = 11.9613(1), c = 70.5787(13) Å, V = 10097.9(2) Å 3, Z = 8, d calc = 1.229 gcm -3, F 000 = 4032, µ = 0.131 mm -1. Preliminary examination and data collection were carried out on a kappa-ccd device (NONIUS MACH3) at the window of a rotating anode (NONIUS FR591) with graphite monochromated Mo-K α radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Data collection was performed at T = 173 K within the Θ range of 2.43 < Θ < 20.58. A total of 8759 reflections were integrated and corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects. A correction for absorption effects and/or decay was applied during the scaling procedure. After merging (R int = 0.0442), 4442 [3669: I o >2σ(I o )] independent reflections remained and all were used to refine 562 parameters. The structure was solved by a combination of direct methods and difference-fourier syntheses. All non-hydrogen atoms (excluding C28, C29, and C30) were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. All hydrogen atoms were calculated in ideal positions (riding model). The hydrogen atoms of the water molecules were not included. Full-matrix leastsquares refinements were carried out by minimizing Σw(F 2 o -F 2 c ) 2 and converged with R1 = 4
0.0805 [I o >2σ(I o )], wr2 = 0.2237 [all data], GOF = 1.117, and shift/error < 0.001. The final difference-fourier map shows no striking features ( e min/max = +0.78/-0.34 eå -3 ). The absolute configuration was proved by retro-synthesis, the trend is given correctly by Flack s parameter ε = 0.2(3).

Uptake of tubulysin A and D by mouse fibroblast cells: A 10 ml culture of cell line L929 in DME medium containing 10 % FCS at 37 C and 10 % CO 2 was treated with 0.5 µg each of tubulysin A and D. After 18 h the cell mass was harvested by centrifugation and extracted repeatedly with ethanol. The supernatant was extracted with ethyl acetate. Both extracts were analysed by HPLC/ESI-MS (ion current for M+H + ) to contain 45 ng of tubulysin A and 125 ng of tubulysin D in the cell extract, and 335 ng and 250 ng in the supernatant corresponding to a recovery of 75 %. At an estimated volume of the cell mass of 50 µl/10 ml culture the intracellular concentrations of tubulysin A and tubulysin D are 25 and 100 fold higher than in the culture medium. 6
