Abstract

Nodularins and microcystins are complex natural isopeptidic hepatotoxins that serve as subnanomolar inhibitors of the eukaryotic serine–threonine protein phosphatases, PP1 and PP2A. In Part 1 (AP Mehrotra, KL Webster and D. Gani, J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1, 1997, preceding paper) each of the key structural or potentially reactive motifs within each macrocycle type was assessed as a contributor towards phosphatase inhibitory efficacy ...
