The convergent total synthesis of hypermodified epothilone analogs 1 and 2 has been achieved with the stereoselective cyclopropanation of allylic alcohol 17 and ring-closing olefin metathesis with diene 22 as the key steps. In spite of significant structural differences between these analogs and the natural epothilone scaffold, 1 and 2 are potent inducers of tubulin polymerization and inhibit the growth of human cancer cells in vitro with sub-nM IC50 values.
通过烯丙醇17的立体选择性环丙烷化反应以及与二烯22的闭环烯烃复分解反应作为关键步骤,实现了超修饰埃坡霉素类似物1和2的汇聚式全合成。尽管这些类似物与天然埃坡霉素骨架在结构上存在显著差异,但1和2仍是微管蛋白聚合的有效诱导剂,并且在体外以亚纳摩尔IC50值抑制人癌细胞的生长。
