Abstract:
Eleutherobin is a marine natural product discovered in 1994. It serves as one of the most potent anti-cancer agents mimicking Taxol. The proposed research is focused on improving the total synthesis of eleutherobin, and based on that developing eleutherobin analogs for biological studies. A modified eleutherobin synthesis is being studied. Compared to the initial Synthesis, the new synthesis is designed to improve the stereoselectivity of key steps and shorten the sequence.
