Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Effective, scalable total syntheses and biological evaluation of six phorboxazole A analogues (1-6) have been achieved. Importantly, the C(45-46)-saturated, C(45-46)-alkenyl, and the C(45-46)-E-chloroalkenyl congeners (4, 5, and 6, respectively) reveal low nanomolar tumor cell growth inhibitory activity (GI50's) similar to or, in some cell lines, greater than that of the phorboxazoles across a diverse panel of human cancer cell lines.
