Y. Endo et al., ROLE OF THE HYDROPHOBIC MOIETY OF TUMOR PROMOTERS - SYNTHESIS AND ACTIVITY OF BENZOLACTAMS WITH ALKYL SUBSTITUENTS AT VARIOUS POSITIONS, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 45(2), 1997, pp. 424-426
We synthesized benzolactams with hydrophobic substituents at various p
ositions as analogs of (-)-benzolactam-V8-310 ((-)-BL-V8-310, 1) which
reproduces the active conformation and biological activity of teleoci
dins. Structure-activity data indicate that the existence of a hydroph
obic region between C-2 and C-9, and the steric factor at C-8 play cri
tical roles in the appearance of biological activities.
