Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel analogues of archazolid: a highly potent simplified V-ATPase inhibitor.

Novel analogues of the V-ATPase inhibitors archazolid A and B with modifications of the free hydroxyl groups and the side chain were designed by molecular modeling, synthesized by derivatization of the parent natural product and evaluated for V-ATPase inhibition and growth inhibition of murine connective tissue cells.
