Ipomoeassin F, a plant-derived macrolide, exhibited single-digit nanomolar growth inhibition activity against many cancer cell lines. In this report, a series of 5-oxa/aza analogues was prepared and screened for cytotoxicity. Replacement of 5-CH with O/NH simplified the synthesis and led to only a small activity loss. N-methylation almost completely restored the potency. Further studies with additional 5-oxa analogues suggested, for the first time, that size and flexibility of the ring also significantly influence the bioactivity of ipomoeassin F.
番薯素F是一种植物来源的大环内酯,对多种癌细胞系表现出个位数纳摩尔级别的生长抑制活性。在本报告中,制备了一系列5-氧杂/氮杂类似物并筛选其细胞毒性。用氧/氮取代5-碳氢简化了合成过程,且仅导致活性有小幅损失。N-甲基化几乎完全恢复了活性。对更多5-氧杂类似物的进一步研究首次表明,环的大小和柔韧性也对番薯素F的生物活性有显著影响。
