  1. Abstract:

    The synthesis and biological evaluation of several enantioenriched schweinfurthin B analogs were undertaken to develop structure-activity relationships and guide design of probes for their putative molecular target. The desired stilbenes contain a common left-half hexahydroxanthene ring system and an aromatic right-half with varied substituents. The synthesis involves penultimate Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons coupling of one of several right-half phosphonates with the aldehyde comprising the left-half of 3-deoxyschweinfurthin B. Preparation of the requisite phosphonates, and the respective stilbenes, as well as the cytotoxicity profiles of these new compounds in the National Cancer Institute's 60 cell-line anticancer screen is described. several of these analogs displayed cytotoxicity patterns well-correlated with the natural product and differences in activity of similar to 10(3) across the various cell lines. Together, these assay results indicate the importance of at least one free phenol group Oil the aromatic D-ring of this system for differential cytotoxicity. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
