J. Bonjoch et al., Synthesis and biological evaluation of a conformationally free seco-analogue of the immunosuppressant FR901483, BIO MED CH, 7(12), 1999, pp. 2891-2897
The synthesis of an azaspirocyclic analogue of FR901483, phosphate 2, is de
scribed based on the implementation of a key 5-endo aminocyclization promot
ed by iodine for direct functionalization of the 1-azaspiro[4.5]decane ring
at the C-3 atom. Compound 2 has no inhibitory activity in the cell prolife
ration assays reported. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
