Abstract

The asymmetric synthesis of the potent immunosuppressive agent (-)-pateamine A isolated from the marine sponge Mycale sp. is described. A key strategy employed in the synthesis was a β-lactam-based macrocyclization to form the 19-membered dilactone macrolide. The synthesis confirms the relative and absolute stereochemistry as 3 R, 5 S, 10 S, 24 S and sets the stage for studies into the mechanism of action of pateamine A. Other studies and ...
