A versatile synthetic strategy was used to prepare milligram quantities of 16-normethyldictyostatin, 16-epi-dictyostatin, and the C16-normethyl-C15Z isomer. Along the way, a number of other E/Z isomers and epimers were prepared, and a novel lactone ring contraction to make iso-dictyostatins with 20-membered macrolactones (instead of 22-membered macrolactones) was discovered. The synthesis of 16-normethyl-15,16- dehydrodictyostatin is the first of any dictyostatin by a maximally convergent route in which three main fragments are assembled, coupled in back-to-back steps, and then processed through refunctionalization and macrolactonization. Cell-based and biochemical evaluations showed 16-normethyl-15,16- dehydrodictyostatin and 16-normethyldictyostatin to be the most potent of the new agents, only 2- and 5-fold less active than (-)-dictyostatin itself. This data and that from previously generated dictyostatin analogs are combined to produce a picture of the structure-activity relationships in this series of anticancer agents. © 2007 American Chemical Society. date: 2007-06-28 date_type: published publication: Journal of Medicinal Chemistry volume: 50 number: 13 pagerange: 2951 - 2966 refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-2623 id_number: 10.1021/jm061385k pmid: 17542572 mesh_headings: Animals mesh_headings: Antineoplastic Agents--chemical synthesis mesh_headings: Antineoplastic Agents--chemistry mesh_headings: Antineoplastic Agents--pharmacology mesh_headings: Binding, Competitive mesh_headings: Cattle mesh_headings: Cell Line, Tumor mesh_headings: Drug Screening Assays, Antitumor mesh_headings: Humans mesh_headings: Macrolides--chemical synthesis mesh_headings: Macrolides--chemistry mesh_headings: Macrolides--pharmacology mesh_headings: Microtubules--chemistry mesh_headings: Stereoisomerism mesh_headings: Structure-Activity Relationship mesh_headings: Tubulin--chemistry chemical_names: Antineoplastic Agents chemical_names: Macrolides chemical_names: Tubulin chemical_names: dictyostatin citation: Jung, WH and Harrison, C and Shin, Y and Fournier, JH and Balachandran, R and Raccor, BS and Sikorski, RP and Vogt, A and Curran, DP and Day, BW (2007) Total synthesis and biological evaluation of C16 analogs of (-)-dictyostatin.
