Abstract

Natural 16-membered macrolide compounds, macrosphelides, have recently been disclosed to exert an apoptosis-inducing effect against human lymphoma U937 cells. In this review, molecular design, syntheses, and biological evaluation of artificial macrosphelides are surveyed, focusing on their apoptosis-inducing activity.
