Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) (-)-16-Normethyldictyostatin has been made by total synthesis and is a potent antitumor agent in cells expressing wild-type tubulin and in one mutant cell line that is resistant to paclitaxel, but it is much less active than dictyostatin in another paclitaxel-resistant cell line where Val is substituted for Phe270. This provides strong evidence that the C16 methyl group of the dictyostatins is oriented toward Phe270 in the paclitaxel-binding site on β-tubulin. © 2005 American Chemical Society.
