Abstract

Synthesis of macrosphelides containing a pyridyl or benzimidazolyl side chain is described. The synthesis was accomplished through sequential assembling of suitable chiral blocks and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) with a high efficiency. These novel derivatives were evaluated on the apoptosis-inducing activity against human lymphoma cells.
