Deskripsi

A general protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of 3-<i>N</i>-arylmethylated right-half model compounds of renieramycins was developed, which enabled structure&#8315;activity relationship (SAR) study of several 3-<i>N</i>-arylmethyl derivatives. The most active compound (<b>6a</b>) showed significant cytotoxic activity against human prostate cancer DU145 and colorectal cancer HCT116 cell lines (IC<sub>50</sub> = 11.9, and 12.5 nM, respectively).
