Abstract

Despite their potential for clinical use many of these compounds are found in low natural abundance; whereas narciclasine (1) is available in practical quantities,[1a, 3] the limited availability of lycoricidine (2), pancratistatin (3), and other derivatives poses one limitation to their development as viable therapeutic agents. Unsurprisingly, the limited availability of these isocarbostyrils, as well as their interesting frameworks, have made these attractive ...
