Abstract

A series of novel 2-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroeudistomin U derivatives were synthesized by the key Pictet-Spengler cyclization reaction and their in vitro antitumor activities were evaluated using Pyricularia oryzae Cavara and Caco-2 cancer cells. Most of the 2-alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroeudistomin U compounds (19- 23) showed potent inhibitory activities in both of the biological tests. Preliminary structure-activity relationships are also presented.
