inhibitory activity for cholesteryl ester synthesis similar to that by 2. These results revealed biologically important 3D spaces of the three side chains in inhibitory activity for cholesteryl ester synthesis. In addition, we accomplished the synthesis of a biotin-labeled probe 8 by copper-catalyzed (3+2) cycloaddition of a biotin-containing alkyne 16 and azido-containing beauveriolide analog 15 prepared
