Abstract

Abstract In this communication, second-generation analogues of palmerolide A, a recently reported cytotoxic agent against melanoma cancer cells, were rationally designed, synthesized, and biologically evaluated. Structural variations of the enamide side chain and the C1–C8 segment of palmerolide A revealed a narrow structure–activity relationship window of the newly synthesized compounds. In addition, mechanistic and ...
