Ge. Jagdmann et al., POTENT AND SELECTIVE PKC INHIBITORY 5-MEMBERED RING ANALOGS OF BALANOL WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE CARBOXAMIDE MOIETY, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 6(15), 1996, pp. 1759-1764
Balanol ((-)-1) is a potent protein kinase inhibitory natural product
isolated from the fungus Verticillium balanoides. The lack of cellular
activity and protein kinase C selectivity in balanol has prompted a s
earch for analogs that incorporate these properties, This paper descri
bes the synthesis and biological activity of such compounds with subst
itution similar to balanol, but with a single atom bridge in place of
the carboxamide moiety. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
