Structure-antitumor activity relationship of semi-synthetic Spicamycin derivatives

J Antibiot (Tokyo). 1995 Dec;48(12):1467-80. doi: 10.7164/antibiotics.48.1467.

Abstract

New derivatives of spicamycin modified at the fatty acid moieties of the molecule were synthesized and their structure-activity relationships were examined. The antitumor activity was greatly influenced by modification of the fatty acid moieties to tetradecadienoyl or dodecadienoyl analogues exhibiting better antitumor activity against COL-1 human colon cancer xenograft than SPM VIII.
