Abstract

Synthesis and biological evaluation of jasplakinolide analogs are described. The synthesis of analogs utilized a diastereoselective syn-aldol reaction and an orthoester Claisen rearrangement as key steps. All synthetic analogs were evaluated for their ability to disrupt the actin Cytoskeleton. Compounds 2, 3, and 4 essentially displayed similar activity to jasplakinolide.
