Abstract

Abstract: A synthetic approach to analogues of the terpenoid natural product antheminone A is described which employs (−)-quinic acid as starting material. A key conjugate addition step proved to be unpredictable regarding its stereochemical outcome however the route allowed access to two diastereoisomeric series of compounds. The results of biological assay of the toxicity of the target compounds towards non-small-cell lung cancer cell line A549 are reported. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Abstract: Syntheses of three novel analogues of the Streptomyces metabolite COTC are described, using the versatile chiral pool starting material, (−)-quinic acid. The results of bioassays of the target compounds against two lung cancer cell lines, A549 and H460, are presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
