Abstract

In the course of our search for new anticancer agents, a series of novel malyngamide derivatives were synthesized by sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, followed by Julia-Kocinski olefination reactions as key reaction sequence. Anticancer activities of all these derivatives were screened against IMR-32, SF-295, SKNSH, HeLa, Colon-502713, SW-620, and Hop-62 cell lines for the first time.
