Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of vicenistatin, a cytotoxic 20-membered macrolactam glycoside.
    Chemistry, an Asian journal, 2012, Volume: 7, Issue:12

    We have developed two syntheses of vicenistatin and its analogues. Our first-generation strategy included the rapid and sequential assembly of the macrocyclic lactam by using an intermolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction between the C3-C13 fragment and the C1-C2, C14-C19 fragment, followed by an intramolecular Stille coupling reaction. The second-generation strategy utilized a ring-closing metathesis of a hexaene intermediate to generate the desired 20-membered macrolactam. This second-generation strategy made it possible to prepare synthetic analogues of vicenistatin, including the C20- and/or C23-demethyl analogues. Evaluation of the cytotoxic effect of these analogues indicated the importance of the fixed conformation of aglycon for determining the biological activity of the vicenistatins.
