Pharmacophore-Directed Retrosynthesis Applied to Ophiobolin A: Simplified Bicyclic Derivatives Displaying Anticancer Activity.

Pharmacophore-directed retrosynthesis applied to ophiobolin A led to bicyclic derivatives that were synthesized and display anticancer activity. Key features of the ultimate defensive synthetic strategy include a Michael addition/facially selective protonation sequence to set the critical C6 stereocenter and a ring-closing metathesis to form the cyclooctene. Cytotoxicity assays toward a breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231) confirm the anticipated importance of structural complexity for selectivity (vs MCF10A cells) while C3 variations modulate stability.
