J. Poncet et al., SYNTHESIS AND ANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITY OF A CYCLIC ANALOG OF DOLASTATIN-10, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(20), 1998, pp. 2855-2858
A cyclic analog of the natural antiproliferative compound dolastatin 1
0 was synthesized by introducing an ester link between the N- and C-te
rminal residues which were modified accordingly. The final macrolacton
ization was performed by using isopropenyl chloroformate and DMAP as r
eagents. This analog exhibits submicromolar antiproliferative activity
against the L1210 and HT29 cell lines and inhibits in vitro tubulin p
olymerization (IC50, 39 mu M). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All ligh
