Tamandarins A (1) and B (2), two natural products similar in structure to didemnin B (3), were recently isolated from a Brazilian marine ascidian of the family Didemnidae. The cytotoxicity of 1 was reported to be somewhat more potent in vitro than that of 3 against various human cancer cell lines. The present account describes the first total syntheses of 1 and 2, and the syntheses of tamandarin A side chain analogues. The cytotoxicity data for these compounds show that the side chain modifications exhibit a parallel effect for both didemnins and tamandarins. This observation supports tamandarins' role as didemnins' mimic.
柑橘霉素A(1)和B(2)是两种结构与双溴菌素B(3)相似的天然产物,最近从巴西被囊动物门的一种海鞘中分离得到。据报道,1在体外对各种人类癌细胞系的细胞毒性比3略强。本报告描述了1和2的首次全合成,以及柑橘霉素A侧链类似物的合成。这些化合物的细胞毒性数据表明,侧链修饰对双溴菌素和柑橘霉素都有类似的影响。这一观察结果支持了柑橘霉素作为双溴菌素模拟物的作用。
