Asymmetric synthesis and antitumor activity of cycloalkanin

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 1999 Sep 20;9(18):2635-8. doi: 10.1016/s0960-894x(99)00457-6.

Abstract

Cycloalkanin was accessible by a practical and efficient asymmetric synthesis. The chiral center of the target is introduced via an asymmetric C-arylation of chiral aldehyde in high de. The synthesized cycloalkanin was shown to be significantly active against P388 cell line as assayed by in vitro MIT method.
