  • Title: Synthesis and biological evaluation of spongistatin/altohyrtin analogues: E-ring dehydration and C46 side-chain truncation.
    Author: Paterson I, Aceña JL, Bach J, Chen DY, Coster MJ.
    Journal: Chem Commun (Camb); 2003 Feb 21; (4):462-3. PubMed ID: 12638950.
    Abstract:
    Simplified analogues of the potent antimitotic marine macrolide spongistatin 1/altohyrtin A were synthesised and evaluated as growth inhibitory agents against a range of human tumour cell lines, including Taxol-resistant strains, revealing that E-ring dehydration leads to enhanced cytotoxicity at the low picomolar level while truncation of the side-chain at C46 results in a drastic decrease in activity.
